Common Radio Reception Conditions
[AS35300(ALL)03/93]
Several conditions affect FM reception and can result in noise or
interference in the reception. These are:
[AS35400(ALL)03/93]
Distance/Strength
[AS35500(ALL)05/94]
The 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 25 miles (40 km). Beyond this distance,
the radio is operating in a ªfringeº area and the signal becomes
weaker.
[AS35600(ALL)03/93]
Terrain
[AS35700(ALL)05/94]
The terrain (hills, mountains, tall buildings) of the area over
which the signal travels may prevent the FM signal from being
noise-free.
