How car audio works
AM   broadcasts    can   be   received   at
greater  distances  than  FM  broadcasts.
This  is   because  AM  radio   waves  are
transmitted   at  low   frequencies.  These
long, low  frequency radio waves  can fol-
low the curvature of the earth  rather than
travelling  straight   out  into   the   atmos-
phere.  In   addition,  they  curve   around
obstructions so that they can provide bet-
ter signal coverage.
FM  broadcasts  are  transmitted  at  high
frequencies and do not bend to follow the
earth's   surface.  Because   of   this,  FM
broadcasts  generally   begin  to  fade   at
short  distances  from   the  station.  Also,
FM signals  are  easily affected  by build-
ings,  mountains,  or  other  obstructions.
These can result in  certain listening con-
ditions which might  lead you to believe a
problem  exists with  your  radio. The  fol-
lowing 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 system ensures  the best pos-
sible  quality   reproduction.  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  dis-
tance from the radio station, closeness of
other  strong  radio stations  or  the  pres-
ence of  buildings, bridges  or other large
obstructions in the  area.
