How to operate the tuner
Reception area of FM broadcasts
A home receiver can catch weak FM stereo signals through the use
of a tall, directional or ultra-sensitive antenna. In a moving vehicle,
the area for good reception is limited because of varying conditions
encountered while driving, including the types and heights of
broadcast antenna structures, signal strength, engine noise, etc.
For best reception with manual antenna, extend the antenna mast
as far as possible.
Multipath
The reflection characteristics of FM waves cause another problem
called multipath–FM wave signals reflecting off of buildings,
mountains, etc. When the antenna receives direct and reflected
waves at the same time, distortion of sound in the treble range often
occurs, such as static or harsh-sounding voices. THIS IS NOT A
TUNER PROBLEM. Only moving to another area with a clearer
signal path can remedy the situation.
Reception quality varies depending on the power of the FM
station, natural and artificial barriers,weather conditions, etc.
