Reception area of FM broadcasts

A home receiver can catch weak FM stereo signals through the

use of a tall, directional or ultra-sensitive antenna. In a moving

vehicle, the area for good reception is limited because of

varying conditions encountered while driving, including the

types and heights of broadcast antenna structures, signal

strength, engine noise, etc. For best reception with manual

antenna, extend the antenna mast as far as possible.

Transmitting Antenna 100 Meters High

Effective Radiation Power 1kW

FM Stereo Auto Radio 12.4 miles

FM Monaural Auto Radio 31 miles

Home FM Stereo Receiver 62 miles

Reception quality varies depending on the power of the FM

station, natural and artificial barriers,weather conditions, etc.

The reflection characteristics of FM waves cause another

problem called multipath–FM wave signals reflecting off of

buildings, mountains, etc. When the antenna receives direct

and reflected waves at the same time, distortion of sound in the

treble range often occurs, such as static or harsh-sounding

voices. THIS IS NOT A TUNER PROBLEM. Only moving to

another area with a clearer signal path can remedy the

situation.
