Radio Frequencies

Your Honda’s radio can receive
the complete

and

bands.

Those bands cover these
frequencies:

band: 530 to 1,710 kilohertz

band: 87.7 to 107.9 megahertz

Radio stations on the

band are

assigned frequencies at least 10
kilohertz apart (530, 540, 550).
Stations on the

band are

assigned frequencies at least 0.2
megahertz 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 show a
frequency of 100.9 even though
the announcer may call the station
“

101.”

Radio Reception

How well your Honda’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

station, you

will notice the sound volume
becoming weaker, and the station
drifting in and out. If you are
listening to an

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 close to.
