Common Radio Reception Conditions
[AS35300(ALL)03/93]
Several conditions affect FM reception and can result in noise or
interference in the reception. These are:
[AS35400(ALL)03/93]
Distance/Strength
[AS35500(ALL)05/94]
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 km). Beyond this distance,
the radio is operating in a ªfringeº area and the signal becomes
weaker.
[AS35600(ALL)03/93]
Terrain
[AS35700(ALL)05/94]
The terrain (hills, mountains, tall buildings) of the area over
which the signal travels may prevent the FM signal from being
noise-free.

All About Radio Frequencies
[AS36700(ALL)06/95]
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and the
Canadian Radio and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC)
establish the frequencies that AM and FM radio stations may
use for their broadcasts. The allowable frequencies are: AM: 530,
540...1700, 1710 kHz in 10 kHz steps; FM: 87.9, 88.1...107.7, 107.9
MHz in 0.2 MHz steps.
[AS36800(ALL)03/93]
Not all frequencies will be assigned to a given area. This radio
will tune to each of these frequencies using manual tuning and
no fine tuning is necessary as radio stations may not use other
frequencies.
[AS36900(ALL)03/93]
Some FM radio stations advertise a ªrounded-offº frequency
which is not the frequency on which they actually broadcast.
For example, a radio station that is assigned a frequency of 98.7
MHz may call itself ªRadio 99º even though 99.0 MHz is not an
allowable FM broadcast frequency.
