RADIO RECEPTION FACTORS
There are three factors that can effect radio
reception:
•Distance/strength: The further you travel from an
FM station, the weaker the signal and the weaker
the reception.
•Terrain: Hills, mountains, tall buildings, power
lines, electric fences, traffic lights and
thunderstorms can interfere with your reception.
•Station overload: When you pass a broadcast
tower, a stronger signal may overtake a weaker
one and play while the weak station frequency is
displayed.
