RADIO RECEPTION
Distortion, interference and lack of signal clarity,
are often attributed to a fault in the radio - this is
rarely the case.
While RDS automatic re-tuning eases this
problem, some manual re-tuning may still be
needed (especially for local stations) in areas of
weak reception.
Problems of this kind are usually caused by
phenomena such as atmospheric conditions,
signal strength, hilly terrain, tall buildings,
bridges and even electrical interference from
power lines.
The broadcast range for good stereo reception
(usually within 30 to 40 mile radius of the
transmitter) is noticeably less than it is for
mono.FM signals (like light waves) travel in a
straight line so large obstacles, such as tall
buildings, can shield the vehicle from the signal
causing distortion or loss of reception (known as
dead spots).
Please remember: A car radio receives signals
while the vehicle is in motion (unlike a domestic
set) - constantly changing direction and moving
away from, or nearer to, the transmitter whilst
negotiating terrain with widely differing reception
characteristics. Some interference is to be
expected from time to time.
Distortion can also occur if FM signals received
directly from the transmitter mix with signals
which have ben reflected by obstructions such as
mountains, hills and tall buildings (this is known
as multi-path distortion).
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, it may be necessary to re-tune
the radio from time to time to offset the effects of
moving from one transmitter area to another.
