Finding Empty Radio Frequencies
An empty frequency is one where you can’t hear a radio station, where there is only
static and not even a faint radio station can be heard. If you live in a big city with a lot
of radio stations, finding an empty FM frequency can be tricky.
Here are some tips for finding an empty frequency:
• Be sure to search the entire spectrum of FM frequencies, from 88.1 to 107.9.
Don’t just look to the low end of the dial, because there are often empty FM
stations in the 100’s that will work great.
• When using the scan/seek function on your car stereo, if your tuner stops on
101 and then jumps to 103, look in the 102 range of frequencies for an empty
frequency.
• Try scanning to a strong station, then backing down two frequencies - for exam-
ple 103.5 to 103.1. You can often find empty frequencies this way. If that fre-
quency is taken, scan to the next station and try again.
• Save a station as a preset on your radio when you find a frequency that works
well in your area, and also set that frequency as a preset on your TuneStik
remote control.
