Why does a radio get fuzzy and other stations can be heard on it?

A radio can get fuzzy and pick up other stations due to interference, which may arise from various sources like atmospheric conditions, physical obstructions, or electronic devices nearby. Additionally, if the radio is not properly tuned to a specific frequency, it may pick up signals from adjacent stations, leading to overlapping sounds. This phenomenon is more common with analog radios, where the tuning isn't as precise as in digital models.

Do crystal radio sets still work now that everything has gone digital?

Can dab radios pick up am?

DAB radios cannot pick up AM signals because they are designed to receive digital audio broadcasting (DAB) signals, which operate on a different frequency and transmission method than AM (Amplitude Modulation) radio. However, some DAB radios may include an FM band that can pick up analog FM and potentially AM stations, but this varies by model. For AM reception, a dedicated AM radio or a hybrid radio that supports both AM and DAB is necessary.
