LiSTENiNG TO FM iN YOUR BOAT
the majority of FM broadcasts are music programs . Compared with aM signals, FM
signals have a wider dynamic range, are relatively immune to noise and provide
virtually distortion free music reproduction . However, because of the nature of FM
signals and the fact that FM stations are usually positioned for shore based reception,
reception in a moving boat may be accompanied by problems .
FM programs are broadcast for local reception and may not be heard satisfactorily at
distant locations . to enjoy FM programs at their best, it is important that you tune to a
station that is broadcasting in your locality .
FM signals can reflect from solid objects such as buildings or hills . If these reflected
signals are received along with signals that are arriving directly from the transmitter,
they may mix together to produce what is known as ‘multipath distortion’ . this
distortion is heard as noise . Often, moving as little as one metre from your position will
correct this problem .
FM signals travel in straight lines . Because the signals are reflected from or absorbed
by large solid objects, a signal ‘shadow’ may be present behind the object which may
result in poor reception in that area .
