outlet. If there is interference or
static, unplug the item from the
accessory power outlet.

that automatically works to reduce
interference, some static can occur,
especially around tall buildings or
hills, causing the sound to fade in

greater than for FM, especially at
night. The longer range can cause
station frequencies to interfere with
each other. Static can occur when
