FM broadcasts are transmitted at high frequen-

cies and do not bend to follow the earth's

surface. Because of this, FM broadcasts gen-

erally begin to fade at short distances from the

station. Also, FM signals are easily affected by

buildings, mountains, or other obstructions.

These can result in certain listening conditions

which might lead you to believe a problem exists

with your radio. The following conditions are

normal and do not indicate radio trouble:

AM broadcasts can be received at greater

distances than FM broadcasts. This is because

AM radio waves are transmitted at low frequen-

cies. These long, low frequency radio waves

can follow the curvature of the earth rather than

travelling straight out into the atmosphere. In

addition, they curve around obstructions so that

they can provide better signal coverage.

How Car Audio Works

AM and FM radio signals are broadcast from

transmitter towers located around your city.

They are intercepted by the radio antenna on

your car. This signal is then received by the

radio and sent to your car speakers.

When a strong radio signal has reached your

vehicle, the precise engineering of your audio

system ensures the best possible quality repro-

duction. However, in some cases the signal

coming to your vehicle may not be strong and

clear. This can be due to factors such as the

distance from the radio station, closeness of

other strong radio stations or the presence of

buildings, bridges or other large obstructions in

the area.
