casts.

stereo signal, a higher level of signal strength is
required for proper stereo reception, if the signal
level is low, a hissing noise may be produced on
the stereo channel.

interference of broadcast signals received directly
from the transmitting station (direct waves) and sig-
nals being reflected from nearby buildings or
mountains (reflected waves).]
