RADIO RECEPTION

Your radio receives signals whilst on the

move, and may experience widely

differing reception characteristics.

Because of this, some interference is to

be expected from time to time during a

journey.

FM transmitters can only broadcast over

a limited range, and good clear signals

will only be received in the immediate area

of the transmitter. When travelling,

occasionally it may be necessary to

re-tune the radio to offset the effects of

moving from one transmitter area to

another.

While automatic re-tuning helps to reduce

the effects of signal changes, some

manual re-tuning may still be required

(especially for local stations) in areas of

weak reception.

The broadcast range for good stereo

reception is within approximately

48 - 64 km (30 - 40 miles) of the

transmitter.

FM Signals travel in a straight line, so

large obstacles, such as tall buildings,

can shield the car from the signal causing

distortion or loss of reception (known as

dead spots).

Distortion can also occur if FM signals

received directly from the transmitter, mix

with signals deflected by obstructions

such as mountains, hills, and tall

buildings. This is known as multi-path

distortion.

Note: Although distortion, interference

and lack of signal clarity are sometimes

attributed to a fault in the radio, this is

rarely the case.
