Caring for the Tape and Player

The tape player picks up dirt and

oxides from the tape. This

contamination builds up over time

and causes the sound quality to

degrade. To prevent this, you should

clean the player after every 30 hours

of use.

Radio Reception

Radio Frequencies

Radio Reception

The radio can receive the complete

AM and FM bands.

How well the radio receives stations

is dependent on many factors, such

as the distance from the station’s

transmitter, nearby large objects,

and atmospheric conditions.

Those bands cover these frequen-

cies:

AM band: 530 to 1,710 kilohertz

FM band: 87.7 to 107.9 megahertz

A radio station’s signal gets weaker

as you get farther away from its

transmitter. If you are listening to an

AM station, you will notice the sound

volume becoming weaker, and the

station drifting in and out. If you are

listening to an FM station, you will

see the stereo indicator flickering off

and on as the signal weakens.

Radio stations on the AM band are

assigned frequencies at least 10

kilohertz apart (530, 540, 550).

Stations on the FM band are

assigned frequencies at least 0.2

megahertz apart (87.9, 88.1, 88.3).

Driving very near the transmitter of

a station that is broadcasting on a

frequency close to the frequency of

the station you are listening to can

also affect your radio’s reception.

You may temporarily hear both

stations, or hear only the station you

are close to.

Stations must use these exact

Eventually, the stereo indicator will

go off and the sound will fade

frequencies. It is fairly common for

stations to round off the frequency in completely as you get out of range of

their advertising, so your radio could

display a frequency of 100.9 even

though the announcer may identify

the station as ‘‘FM101.’’

the station’s signal.

Radio Reception

As required by the FCC:

Changes or modifications not expressly

approved by the party responsible for

compliance could void the user’s

authority to operate the equipment.

Radio signals, especially on the FM

band, are deflected by large objects

such as buildings and hills. Your

radio then receives both the direct

signal from the station’s transmitter,

and the deflected signal. This causes

the sound to distort or flutter. This is

a main cause of poor radio reception

in city driving.

Radio reception can be affected by

atmospheric conditions such as

thunderstorms, high humidity, and

even sunspots. You may be able to

receive a distant radio station one

day and not receive it the next day

because of a change in conditions.

Electrical interference from passing

vehicles and stationary sources can

cause temporary reception problems.
