AM radio noise help.
I have a Pioneer 8600MP radio, and with the AM stations I get some sort
of noise that gets louder as the engines rpms increase. It doesn't happen with stations that are very close. Anyway to fix this? Thanks. |

It's a very common problem with aftermarket units. most of the technology is in the CD section and all the bells and whistles. AM gets ignored. the problem is probably worse on the lower end of dial on weaker stations. On the higher end and on stranger stations not so bad. I've had customers return $400 head units because of the bad AM. |

AM radio noise help.
If you live in an urban enviroment, AM reception will be garbage no matter
what head unit you buy. There are just to many sources of interferance at those frequencies. wrote in message ups.com... e-nigma wrote: wrote in message oups.com...

It's not so much that there's more interference in that frequency range - it's more a function of how AM radio handles interference. Since the information is encoded by varying the amplitude of the signal, any interference that affects the amplitude, like lightning, sunspots, weakened signal due to distance, etcetera will show up as distortion in the sound. With Frequency Modulation, the information is encoded by varying the frequency, not the amplitude, so even though there's a lot of interference out there, you'll never hear it because it doesn't affect the frequency of the signal. -- Scott Gardner "After things go from bad to worse, the cycle will repeat itself." |
