RADIO FREQUENCIES AM and FM frequencies are established by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and the Canadian Radio and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC). Those frequencies are: AM - 530, 540-1600, 1610 kHz FM- 87.7, 87.9-107.7, 107.9 MHz RADIO RECEPTION FACTORS There are three factors that can effect radio reception: • Distance/strength: The further you travel from an FM station, the weaker the signal and the weaker the reception. • Terrain: Hills, mountains, tall buildings, power lines, electric fences, traffic lights and thunderstorms can interfere with your reception. • Station overload: When you pass a broadcast tower, a stronger signal may overtake a weaker one and play while the weak station frequency is displayed. CASSETTE/PLAYER CARE Do: • Use only cassettes that are 90 minutes long or less. 36 2003 F150 (f12) Owners Guide (post-2002-fmt) USA English (fus)
