Common Radio Reception
ConditionsSeveral conditions prevent FM reception from being
completely clear and noise-free, such as the
following:Distance/StrengthThe strength of the FM signal is directly related to
the distance the signal must travel. The listenable
range of an average FM signal is approximately 24
miles (40 km). Beyond this distance, the radio is
operating in a ªfringeº area and the signal becomes
weaker. Also, ªSignal Modulationº is used by some
stations to increase their ªloudnessº relative to other
stations. The difference in loudness can be a result
of signal modulation as well as signal strength.
