Audio System

General Information

The radio will provide excellent re-
ception under most operating condi-
tions. However, like any system, ra-
dios have performance limitations. To
help you understand and avoid con-
cern about these possible malfunc-
tions, you must understand how radio
signals are transmitted and received.
Radio Signals
There are two basic types of radio sig-
nals:
• AM (Amplitude Modulation), in which
the transmitted sound causes the am-
plitude, or height of the radio waves
to vary.
• FM (Frequency Modulation), in which
the frequency of the wave is varied
to carry the sound.

AM Reception
AM sound is based on wave ampli-
tude, so AM reception can be dis-
rupted by such things as lightning,
power lines and neon signs.
FM Reception
Because FM transmission is based on
frequency variations, interference that
consists of amplitude variations can
be filtered out, leaving the reception
relatively clear, which is the major fea-
ture of FM radio.
