Radio Frequencies
Your Honda's radio can receive the
complete AM and FM bands. Those
bands cover these frequencies:
AM band: 530 to 1,710 kilohertz
FM band: 87.7 to 107.9 megahertz
Radio stations on the AM band are
assigned frequencies at least 10
kilohertz apart (530, 540, 550).
Stations on the FM band are
assigned frequencies at least 0.2
megahertz apart (87.9, 88.1, 88.3).
Stations must use these exact
frequencies. It is fairly common for
stations to round-off the frequency
in their advertising, so your radio
could display a frequency of 100.9
even though the announcer may
identify the station as "FM101."
Comfort and Convenience Features
Radio Reception
How well your Honda's radio
receives stations is dependent on
many factors, such as the distance
from the station's transmitter,
nearby large objects, and
atmospheric conditions.
A radio station's signal gets weaker
as you get farther away from its
transmitter. If you are listening to an
AM station, you will notice the
sound volume becoming weaker, and
the station drifting in and out. If
you are listening to an FM station,
you will see the stereo indicator
flickering off and on as the signal
weakens. Eventually, the stereo
indicator will go off and the sound
will fade completely as you get out
of range of the station's signal.
Driving very near the transmitter of
a station that is broadcasting on a
frequency close to the frequency of
the station you are listening to can
also affect your radio's reception.
You may temporarily hear both
stations, or hear only the station
you are close to.
