44When several broadcast towers are present
(common in metropolitan areas), several stations
may overload the receiver, resulting in considerable
station changing, mixing and distortion.
Automatic gain control circuitry for both AM and
FM bands has been incorporated into this system to
reduce strong signal capture and overload.All About Radio FrequenciesThe Federal Communications Commission (FCC)
and the Canadian Radio Telecommunications
Commission (CRTC) establish the frequencies that
AM and FM radio stations may use for their
broadcasts. The allowable frequencies are, AM: 530,
540...1600, 1610 kHz in 10 kHz steps; FM: 87.9,
88.1...107.7, 107.9 MHz in 0.2 MHz steps.
Not all frequencies will be assigned to a given area.
This radio will tune to each of these frequencies
using manual tune and no fine tuning is necessary
as radio stations may not use other frequencies.Some FM radio stations advertise a ªrounded-offº
frequency which is not the frequency they actually
broadcast on. 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.
