Common Radio Reception Conditions

[AS35300(ALL)08/95]
Several conditions prevent FM reception from being completely
clear and noise-free, such as the following:
*
[AS35400(ALL)08/95]1.
Distance/Strength
*
[AS35500(ALL)08/95]
The strength of the FM signal is directly related to the distance
the signal must travel. The listenable range of an average FM
signal is approximately 25 miles (40 kilometers). Beyond this
distance, the radio is operating in a fringe area and the signal
becomes weaker.
