Radio Built-In AFC The Built-In Automatic Frequency Control (AFC) works only on FM. It helps to reduce drift on FM reception and to keep the radio locked in on the EN FM station to which it is tuned. Antennas AM Antenna - A built-in ferrite rod antenna eliminates the need for an outside antenna for AM reception. Rotating the unit slightly may improve reception of distant AM stations. FM Antenna - The power cord acts as your FM antenna. The power cord picks up moderate to strong stations and eliminates the need for an external antenna in most strong signal areas. Be sure the power cord is stretched out to its full length. Do not coil or bunch the cord together. Changing position of the power cord may improve reception.
