AM broadcasts can be received at greater dis-
tancesthanFMbroadcasts.ThisisbecauseAM
radio waves are transmitted at low frequencies.
These long, low frequency radio waves can
follow the curvature of the earth rather than
travelling straight out into the atmosphere. In
addition,theycurvearoundobstructionssothat
they can provide better signal coverage.
FM broadcasts are transmitted at high frequen-
ciesanddonotbendtofollowtheearth'ssurface.
Becauseofthis,FMbroadcastsgenerallybegin

When a strong radio signal has reached your
vehicle, the precise engineering of your audio
system ensures the best possible quality repro-
duction. However, in some cases the signal
coming to your vehicle may not be strong and
clear. This can be due
to factors such as the distance from the radio
station, closeness of other strong radio stations
or the presence of buildings, bridges or other
large obstructions in the area.
