What is Tuner Bands?
Tuner bands refer to the different frequency ranges that a radio tuner can receive and tune into.
The most common tuner bands are AM (Amplitude Modulation) and FM (Frequency Modulation). AM radio uses a frequency range from 535 kilohertz (kHz) to 1705 kHz in North America, while FM radio uses a frequency range from 88 megahertz (MHz) to 108 MHz in North America. Other tuner bands that are less common include shortwave, longwave, and digital radio, among others. To receive radio signals within a particular tuner band, a radio tuner must be capable of selecting and tuning into the correct frequency range. This is typically done by turning a knob or pressing a button to select the desired tuner band, and then fine-tuning the frequency to the desired station. Some radio receivers are capable of receiving multiple tuner bands, while others are designed to receive only a single tuner band. The availability of different tuner bands can vary depending on the location and type of radio receiver. Overall, tuner bands are an important feature of radio receivers, as they determine which types of radio signals the receiver is capable of receiving and playing through its speakers.
