AM
The range for most AM stations is
greater than for FM, especially at
night. The longer range can cause
station frequencies to interfere with
each other. Static can occur when
things like storms and power lines
interfere with radio reception. When
this happens, try reducing the treble
on the radio.
SiriusXM Satellite Radio
Service

Radio Service provides digital radio
reception. Tall buildings or hills can

garages, or tunnels may cause loss
of the SiriusXM signal for a period
of time.
Cell Phone Usage

or receiving phone calls, charging,
or just having the phone on maycause static interference with the
radio. Unplug the phone or turn it off
if this happens.
