Radio Frequencies

Your vehicle's radio can receive the

complete AM and FM bands.

Those bands cover these

frequencies:

AM band: 530 to 1,710 kHz

FM band: 87.7 to 107.9 MHz

Radio stations on the AM band are

assigned frequencies at least 10 kHz

apart (530, 540, 550). Stations on the

FM band are assigned frequencies at

least 0.2 MHz apart (87.9, 88.1, 88.3).

Stations must use these exact

frequencies. It is fairly common for

stations to round-off the frequency in

their advertising, so your radio could

display a frequency of 100.9 even

though the announcer may identify

the station as ‘‘FM101.’’

AM/FM Radio Reception

How well your vehicle's radio

receives stations is dependent on

many factors, such as the distance

from the station's transmitter, nearby

large objects, and atmospheric

conditions.

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.

Eventually, the stereo indicator will

go off and the sound will fade

completely as you get out of range of

the station's signal.

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
