overpasses, parking garages, dense tree foliage and
thunderstorms can interfere with your reception.

When you pass a ground-based broadcast repeating
tower, a stronger signal may overtake a weaker one and
the audio system may mute.

Your display may show ACQUIRING... to indicate the
interference and the audio system may mute.
