Understanding Radio Reception
FM Stereo
FM stereo will give you the best sound.
But FM signals will reach only about
10 to 40 miles (16 to 65 km). And, tall
buildings or hills can interfere with
FM signals, causing the sound to come
and go.
AM
The range for most AM stations is greater
than for FM, especially at night. The
longer range, however, can cause stations
to interfere with each other. AM can pick
up noise from things like storms and
power lines. Try reducing the treble to
reduce this noise if you ever get it.
AM Stereo
This means the Delco@ system can
receive C-QUAM@ stereo broadcasts.
Many AM stations around the country
use C-QUAM@ to prodyce stereo, though
some do not. (C-QUAM@
is a registered
trademark
of Motorola, I&) If your
Delco@ system can get C-QUAM@, your
“STEREO” light will come on when
you’re receiving it.
