Helpful Information About Your AM/FM Tower

Remember that no antenna can receive a radio signal that isn’t there. When a usable radio signal is present, your AM/FM Tower will improve AM and FM reception.

Note: Generally, a practical limit to radio reception is 40-50 miles from the broadcast transmitter depending on the terrain.

Gain Control Knob:

Located on the front of the AM/FM Tower is the gain control knob. The gain control is the mechanism which either increases or decreases the antenna’s amplifier intensity. The further away you are from the radio signal, the more you increase the gain. If you are very close to the radio signal, signal saturation occurs, lowering the gain will decrease the amount of distortion. See Fig. 4.
