To change bands, press the AM/FM 1.2 button. On the FM band, ST will

Radio signals, especially on the FM
band, are deflected by large objects such as buildings and hills. Your
radio then receives both the direct signal from the station's transmitter,
and the deflected signal. This causes
the sound to distort or flutter. This is a main cause of poor radio reception
in city driving. Radio reception can be affected by
atmospheric conditions such as
thunderstorms, high humidity, and even sunspots. You may be able to
receive a distant radio station oneday and not receive it the next day
because of a change in conditions. Electrical interference from passing
vehicles and stationary sources can
cause temporary reception problems.

As required by the FCC: Changes or modifications not expressly
approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user's
authority to operate the equipment.
