Understanding Radio Reception
AM
The range for most
AM
stations
1s
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. Try
reducing the treble to reduce this noise if you ever get
it.
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.
Tips About
Your
Audio 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.
