With touch actuations of AM you switch between the AM memory areas AM and AMA (Autostore).< With your car radio you can receive the following reception ranges: FM and AM. The frequency range AM allows the reception of distant stations because the broadcast signals not only travel along the ground as surface waves, but also as waves bounced back to earth from the ionosphere. Frequency Modulation (FM) provides substantially better sound quality than Amplitude Modulation (AM). However, because FM transmissions rely on lineof-sight broadcast waves, their effective reception range is limited. 18 Online Edition for Part No. 01 41 0 156 490 - © 11/01 BMW AG SELECTING A STATION BY FREQUENCY Selecting a station manually 1.
