AM  broadcasts  can  be  received  at  greater
distances than FM broadcasts. This is because
AM  radio  waves are  transmitted  at  low  fre-
quency.Theselong,lowfrequencyradiowaves
can follow the curvature of the earth rather than
travelling straight  out into the  atmosphere. In
addition,  they  curve  around  obstructions so
that they can provide better  signal coverage.
FM  broadcasts  are  transmitted  at  high  fre-
quency and  do not bend  to follow the  earth's
surface. Because of this, FM  broadcasts gen-
erally begin to fade at short distances from the
station. Also, FM signals are easily affected by
buildings,  mountains,  or  other  obstructions.
These can result in certain listening conditions
which  might  lead  you to  believe  a  problem
exists with your radio. The following conditions
are normal and do not indicate radio trouble:

AM and  FM radio signals are  broadcast from
transmitter  towers  located  around your  city.
They are intercepted by  the radio antenna on
your car.  This signal  is then  received by  the
radio and sent to your car  speakers.
When a strong  radio signal has reached your
vehicle, the precise engineering of  your audio

ever, in some cases the signal coming to your
vehicle is not 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 and other
large obstructions in the area.
