Hello. Welcome to the Best Buy community. Thank you for your question. Yes. Rest assured Sony SRF-M37W FM/AM/WB Walkman | SKU: 8692471 locks onto FM stereo stations on the morning bus ride commute to work. The speed at which the bus is moving is not the sole determining factor affecting broadcast FM stereo reception quality on Sony SRF-M37W Walkman. Local/DX Sensitivity Switch on Sony SRF-M37W Walkman must be must be set to “DX” position to receive FM stereo broadcasts. Change Sony SRF-M37W Walkman’s FM/WB Sensitivity Switch from DX to Local if FM/WB program is received with excessive static. Headphone cord should be extended for best FM reception. AM Band reception is improved upon by rotating pocket radio horizontally until clear reception is obtained. Moving Sony SRF-M37WWalkman closer to window on the bus and away from electronic devices emitting harmful RF interference improves AM/FM reception. Accurate, clear and drift-free reception for Sony SRF-M37WWalkman depends on multitude of factors. Factors affecting reception include time of day reception is being sought, principles of radio wave propagation, distance from station’s transmitter to Sony SRF-M37WWalkman, altitude of broadcast tower, broadcast antenna polarization patterns, type of material office building or home is made of, signal strength station emits, location of Sony SRF-M37WAM/FM Walkman within home, seasonal conditions, atmospheric storms, types of structures in neighborhood such as tall buildings, rolling hills, mountains, quality of radio receiver and built-in antennas. FM signals are broadcast at higher altitude than AM radio signals. FM Band interference is caused from multipath reflections of radio waves off tall buildings or nearby mountains in neighborhood. AM stations reduce power at night or perform maintenance operations on transmitter adversely affect reception on 530-1710 kHz Medium Wave Band. Reception area of FM signals range between 40-100 miles. Under rare atmospheric conditions, referred to as Tropospheric Ducting, FM signal sky wave coverage over land or bodies of water during warm summer months extend outward up to 190-500 mile radius from station(s) broadcast transmitter during daytime hours. Tropospheric Ducting forecasts are rated on weakest signal to strongest signal geographical coverage area 0-10 index scale. Hilly or mountainous terrain work to defeat expanded Tropospheric Ducting FM radio wave propagation across U.S. for vast majority of FM Band listeners. Transmission of AM broadcasts is longer than FM broadcasts. Clear Channel AM Band broadcasts offer longest range transmissions day or night. In daytime, AM radio broadcasts via ground wave transmission reach listeners within several hundred mile radius. At night, AM signals traveling via sky wave journey perhaps hundreds or even thousands of miles away from intended radio market. DX reception of remote AM stations is possible on Sony SRF-M37WWalkman after sunset because of AM broadcaster’s ability to bounce signals off outer reaches of earth’s atmosphere to Sony SRF-M37WWalkman receivers outside of intended radio market. Reception area of FM signals range between forty to one hundred miles. FM signal coverage is shorter than AM because FM signals travel in straight lines and have reduced interaction with earth’s ionosphere. FM mono reception offers better sound quality compared to AM counterpart. FM mono signals are susceptible to less interference than AM broadcasts. FM stereo broadcasts provide high-fidelity sound to target radio audience and shortest reception range in specific market on 87.5-108 MHz Band.

There are more than 1000 WB stations across U.S. that air local weather forecasts, marine forecasts, coastal weather forecasts, tide information, rip currents, recreational beach forecasts and emergency tornado, tropical depression, tropical storm, hurricane, torrential rain or natural disaster weather events to the public on low power F.C.C. licensed 100-1000 Watt transmitters. WB is compatible with government weather forecasting services in United States (NOAA Weather Radio), U.S. Adjacent Coastal Waters, Canada (Weatheradio Canada), Bermuda (Bermuda Radio), Guam, Northern Mariana Islands, Puerto Rico, U.S. Virgin Islands and American Pacific Islands including American Samoa. Not everyone will be able to receive all 7 WB Channels depending on geographic location. An examination of various sources of radio interference is important subject pertaining to Sony SRF-M37WWalkman’s day-to-day performance. Most sources of radio interference come from entertainment devices within home emitting radio frequency waves. Radio frequency interference is caused by phenomenon occurring outside home, in immediate surrounding area of home, deteriorating atmospheric conditions, electromagnetic solar activities i.e. solar flares, solar storms, solar winds, sunspot activity and/or interference from adjacent frequencies on AM/FM bands. Listeners experience interference from nearby electronic equipment in homes from such items as computers, cordless telephones, microwave ovens, cellular telephones, televisions, stereos, compact disc players, electric power tools and everyday household appliances such as vacuum cleaner. RF interference is caused by operational electrical motors, lighting equipment, metal objects, broadcasting radio and TV equipment, close by ham radio operators or nearby power lines outside home. A competing station adjacent to station being listened to bleeds into tuned station to degrade reception opportunities as well.
