How To Get Clear Reception On Radio Stations

By Maurice Choquard


MP3 players also are available for several models, and though most new cars come equipped with CD players, car radios are not yet obsolete. Many drivers still love listening to radio stations, whether it is for music, talk-shows, or as they head home during rush-hour to listen to a local traffic report. For these drivers, tuning to their favorite radio station and hearing static or hum can be very annoying. But there are some methods by which drivers can maximize their chances of getting the most outstanding auto radio reception.

The antenna is the means whereby a vehicle radio can receive AM and FM signals. If the antenna is not raised over the car, or if it is disconnected in the car radio, it is not going to receive any reception.

In the event you now have it set to an AM station change your radio to FM. AM radio signals may be weaker and thus more prone to electrical interference. In the event you hear immediate development and change to FM, wait until you get to a far more open place or the top of a hill before changing back.

Switch your radio to monaural reception if your sound system has a mono/stereo switch. This can be useful in improving reception in hilly areas.

When it is damaged, you will have to change it. This part is vital for your car's radio reception because without it, the alloy body of the majority of cars blocks the radio from receiving signals. Therefore, in the event the antenna has to be replaced, make sure that you choose one of top quality.

Examine the length and placing of your car's antenna. To really get the best reception, the antenna ought to be about 30 inches long and ought to be mounted as high in your car as possible.

Record when your car radio receives the most noise. If you hear a whining or ticking in time with all the motor, or the radio noise worsens if you use your wiper blades or heater, it might be the engine's electrical system causing your trouble. A reputable mechanic ought to be able to repair it.

Check your car's connections if you are still having trouble. Be sure the antenna is securely connected to the system and all of the wiring is really in place.

Purchase a wave loop antenna (sometimes called a wire loop antenna) or dipole FM antenna. Both of these may be bought for comparatively affordable (under 20) at most electronics stores like Circuit City. Connect the antenna to the radio. Many of these antennas are going to have clip to put on the existing radio's antenna, thus boosting its signal. Alternately, some radios will have a particular port at the back with a connection for an auxiliary antenna.
