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). And, 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 eac\
h other.
AM can pick up noise from things like storms and power lines. Tr\
y reducing
the treble to reduce this noise if you ever get
it.
AM Stereo
This means the Delco’ system can receive C-QUAM’ stereo broadcasts.
Many AM stations around the country use C-QUAM@ to produce ste\
reo, though some
do not. (C-QUAM@ is a registered trademark of Motorola,
kc.) If your DelcoB system can get C-QUAM@, your “STEREO’ light will
come on when you’re receiving it.
NOTICE:
Before you add any sound equipment to your ~ehicle - like a
tape player,
CB radio, mobile telephone or two-way radio - be
sure you can add
what you want. If you can, it’s very important
to do
it properly. Added sound equipment may interfere with the
operation of your vehicle’s engine, Delco@ radio or other
systems, and even damage them. And, your vehicle’s systems
may interfere with the operation of sound equipment that has
been added improperly.
So, before adding sound equipment, check with your dealer and
be sure to check Federal rules covering mobile radio and
telephone units.
