How well does the FM radio work?

Sorry, I don't use the FM function of it. Other than that, I love it. The item performs more than well for the price. Battery life is good. I love the sleep mode feature because I bought mainly so it would put me to sleep! At times, I wake up on top of it and it withstands the bad treatment! The sound is good and clear.

Sorry! I don't know. The one I received had a defective disc player so I returned it, without really testing it.The radio worked but I only tried the FM.

No, this is not true..I have used the Samsung unit for a few days now (Christmas gift) and do get FM reception in stereo (I am in London, England). However I do find the overall fm reception to be poor and much worse then my three year old Creative Zen mp3 player.

FM reception is very good in the city--don't know about outlying areas. It's a little tricky to tune since not much space between bands, but still a very good little radio for the price.

I agree this is a great radio (a little wide on the FM band, but very sensitive.) Batteries last a long time, I rarely use the adapter.

The radio FM reception is very good. This is the third waterproof radio I have had and it is by far the best.

The radio reception is excellent. Crisp, clear words and music. Several FM Stations to choose from in my area (upstate NY). The battery in mine has lasted since I bought it, which was many months ago...I have had to recharge after prolonged use, but never change a battery out. It is a great little unit...I recommend it highly. I am very satisfied with it.

No - the reception isn't that good. I wouldn't rely on it for its FM receiver.

Yes, however, I have found this receiver severely lacking in FM sensitivity. I don't know if it has a problem locking in the signal or if it is just a poor tuner design. All other features work pretty well though.

Yes, That is the one thing that this does well. The FM transmitter part does not work well in my experience.

The FM radio is pretty good, you can program it to your desired stations and listen to the ones you want, the COBY MP3610 has a slightly better radio program, but since these are both manufactured by COBY, both are good..Hope I was of help.. :)

i got this radio so that i can listen to it where i live (Manasass Park, VA) because reception down there is very bad. This radio solves that problem. I can listen to my FM station with no static. I recommend it.

I also have this question. I'd like to know if this unit can receive FM radio if my Internet connection goes down.

Yes. It does access FM stations and amplify the sound a bit, but it doesn't have great reception, and it does draw heavily from the battery.

It works well. Easy to adjust to stations. But, I have discovered the speaker itself is wonderful! You may discover like I did that you won't be using the FM transmitter nearly as much as you thought.

My FM reception is good even though my unit is in the basement. I've never had any trouble with reception.
