§&!reo
FM stereo will give you the best sound. But FM signals
will reach only about 10 to 40 miles (1 6 to 65 km). Tall
buildings or hills can interfere with
FM signals, causing
the sound to come
and go.
The range for most
AM stations is 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
