When tuning in FM stations, you may notice that often the station you desire can be heard on two or three nearby points on the dial. Always tune carefully to the loudest and clearest point. Antennas AM Antenna - A built-in ferrite rod antenna eliminates the need for an outside antenna for AM reception. FM Antenna - The power cord acts as your FM antenna.
