indications.

Common Radio Reception Conditions
*
[AS35300(ALL)05/96]
Several conditions prevent FM reception from being completely
clear and noise-free, such as the following:

1.
Distance/Strength
*
[AS35500(ALL)05/96]
The strength of the FM signal is directly related to the distance
the signal must travel. The listenable range of an average FM
signal is approximately 25 miles (40 kilometers). Beyond this
distance, the radio is operating in a fringe area and the signal
becomes weaker.
*
[AS35600(ALL)05/96] 2.
Terrain
*
[AS35700(ALL)05/96]
The terrain (hilly, mountainous, tall buildings) of the area over
which the signal travels may prevent the FM signal from being
noise-free.
*
[AS35900(ALL)05/96]
If there is a building or large structure between the antenna and
station, some of the signal “bends” around the building, but
certain spots receive almost no signal. Moving out of the
“shadow” of the structure will allow the station to return to
normal.
*
[AS36000(ALL)05/96]
When the radio waves are reflected off objects or structures, the
reflected signal cancels the normal signal, causing the antenna to
pick up noise and distortion. Cancellation effects are most
prominent in metropolitan areas, but also can become quite
severe in hilly terrain and depressed roadways.
