How to operate the tuner
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.
MULTIPATH
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.
