Radio reception Usually, the problem with radio reception does not mean there is a problem with your radio - it is just the normal result of conditions outside the vehicle. For example, nearby building s and terrain can interfere with FM reception. Power lines or telephone wires can interfere with AM signals. And of course, radio signals have a limited range, and the farther you are from a station, the weaker its signal will be. In addition, reception conditions change constantly as your vehicle moves. Here are some common reception problems that probably do not indicate a problem with your radio. FM Fading and drifting stations-Generally, the effective range of FM is about 40km (25 miles). Once outside this range, you may notice and drifting, which increase with distance from the distance from the radio transmitter. They are often accompanied by distortion. Multi-path -FM signals are reflective, making it possible for two signals to reach your antenna at the same time. If this happens, the signals will cancel each other out, causing a momentary flutter or loss of reception. Static and fluttering-These occur when the signals are blocked by buildings, trees, or other large objects. Increasing the basis level may reduce static and fluttering.
