Understanding Radio Reception
FM Stereo
FM stereo will give you the best sound. But FM signals
will reach only about 10 to
40
miles (16 to
65
km).
Tall
buildings or hills can interfere with FM signals, causing
the sound to come and go.
AM
The range for most AM stations is greater than for FM,
especially at night. The longer range, however, can
cause stations to interfere with each other. AM can pick
up noise from things like storms and power lines.
T r y
reducing the treble to reduce this noise if you ever get it.
Tips About Your Aut--, System
Hearing damage from loud noise is almost undetectable
until it is too late. Your hearing can adapt
to
higher
volumes of sound. Sound that seems normal can be
loud and harmful to your hearing. Take precautions by
adjusting the volume control on your radio to
a safe
sound level before your hearing adapts to it.
