Try connecting a cord to line-in or the headphone jack (even if nothing is connected to them). This can apparently act as an antenna to improve reception.

Go with the new version GEX-MP3 - Just upgrade the Firmware with a downloadable tool from XMRadio and it will be just fine - A great radio with MP3 functions - I use it everywhere and the reception is excellent. If you are an Audible book subscriber as we are - the book downloads to the GEX-XMP3 are a snap. When at home/office I connect it to my Boze Wave and the sound is great, especially the books. Get it - Amazon.com has best price in town.

not really, however that is a problem with digital tuners, the same thing can happen with fm, you are most likely at the fringe point of that 1100 station. Good luck.

Interesting. I've been considering pre-ordering the 1390T. The amazon description says it does have multi-point routing, maybe it is wrong. With the FM transmitter on the 765T, do you have to use the FM transmitter, and does this mean you have to tune your radio to a dead FM channel while driving? Interesting point you make, because the prices are very similar on Amazon.

I would try deleting the FM presets that are currently stored. Select 88 to 108 and then try the auto tune again. The FM stations should generally not need to be retuned manually to get better reception.

I tried it out today...FM radio sounds great. The player even has an "auto scan" option similar to seek in a car radio - it will automatically pick up all the stations that have good reception/audio quality and put them all in presets. This way you don't have to go through every decimal number (98.4, 98.5, 98.6,etc) looking for stations.

Hi,SR 6007 has fm tuner for sure but a small antenna, you may need to buy external antenna for better reception.

I actually have 3 Yahama tuner/amps and they do a great job with FM. There is only one station I can't pick up but that is because they are very directional and I am in a very fringe area. If I got a better antenna it might help. Back to your original inquiry, I think the Yamaha is a terrific unit.

I'm not sure if that's even possible... Either stick it on one station that is pure static or have it on the highest speed on either AM or FM depending on how much it picks up. Or be in a truly desolate place with out any radio connection. Hard to pick up actual ghost voices when the DJ hosts are talking ;)

You might check out the Garmin 855 unit. I believe you can add the FM traffic to this unit according to Amazon phone support.

Thanks for the feedback. I am considering this radio, a Sangean, other Yamaha Desktop radios and the Bose. Having a remote control is a must for me.

Yep, as the others have said, that's what I use mine for too. Works very well. Only drawback is it's hard to get any reception for the radio feature.

Try http://hackaday.com/2012/10/08/os-x-port-of-gqrx-is-the-easiest-way-to-get-into-software-defined-radio/. I did not have much success with the device, but have not tried different antennas or anything.

They ran out and sent me a kdc-mp355u instead but it should be the same. Hold down the numbers to set a station and use the arrows to tune it

Honestly I don't like handhelds after trying. Yaesuis the easiest cause there is a good program for setting frequencies. I just preferred a one or two band model for simplicity . Good luck

There is none this is a cheep radio that can pick up local stations only. I would consider a grundig or sangean if you want good reception
