CHASSIS ELECTRICAL ± Radio and Tape Player54-66
A-5 There is more noise either on AM or on FM.
1. There is much noise only on AM.
Due to differences in AM and FM systems,
AM is more susceptible to noise interference.
Were conditions such as the following present when noise was
received?
Lightning was flashing. A motorcycle was passing.
A vehicle passed close by, but it appeared to be a vehicle
generating a particularly large amount of noise radiation.
Passed beneath a power line. Passed under a bridge.
Passed beneath a telephone line.
Passed close by a signal generator.
Passed close by some other source of electrical noise.
Ye s
No
Continue to check for static; when static is detected, check for
the conditions listed above.Ye sNoise prevention on the radio side is difficult. If the problem is
particularly worse than other radios, consult a service centre.
No
If the problem is particularly worse than other radios, consult a
service centre.
2. There is much noise only on FM.
Due to differences in FM and AM systems,
FM is not as susceptible as AM to interference
from engines, power lines, lightning, etc. On
the other hand, there are cases due to the
characteristics of FM waves of noise ordistortion generated by typical noise
interference (first fading and multipath). (Refer
to A-2)
areas such as mountainous regions, but this
is not due to a problem with the radio.>
