1993 Volvo 960 pg. 1:30 General information Sending signals The FM waves do not follow the earth's surface nor do they bounce off the atmosphere. For this reason their range is limited. The AM waves follow the earth's surface and reflect against the atmosphere, giving them a wide range.
1993 Volvo 960 Because of the limited range of the FM senders and the fact that these waves are very reflective, this problem usually occurs with FM reception.
1993 Volvo 960 Cross modulation If you listen to a weak station in the vicinity of a stronger one, both stations may be received simultaneously. FM - reasons for distortion FM is affected by the electrical systems of nearby vehicles, especially those without suppression.
1993 Volvo 960 AM - reasons for distortion AM reception is sensitive to electrical disturbances such as power lines, lightning, etc. pg. 1:32 Radio FM stereo reception Stereo reception places very high demands on the signal quality which means the type of distortions previously mentioned become even more obvious.
