Radio reception
Usually, the problem with radio reception does not mean
there is a problem with your radio ± it is just the normal result
of conditions outside the vehicle.
For example, nearby building s and terrain can interfere with
FM reception. Power lines or telephone wires can interfere
with AM signals. And of course, radio signals have a limited
range, and the farther you are from a station, the weaker its
signal will be. In addition, reception conditions change
constantly as your vehicle moves.
Here are some common reception problems that probably
do not indicate a problem with your radio.
FM
Fading and drifting stations±Generally, the effective
range of FM is about 40km (25 miles). Once outside this
range, you may notice and drifting, which increase with
distance from the distance from the radio transmitter. They
are often accompanied by distortion.
Multi±path±FM signals are reflective, making it possible for
two signals to reach your antenna at the same time. If this
happens, the signals will cancel each other out, causing a
momentary flutter or loss of reception.
Static and fluttering±These occur when the signals are
blocked by buildings, trees, or other large objects.
Increasing the basis level may reduce static and fluttering.
