The instructions that come with it are very limited and no user manual online that I could find. How do you set a radio station to the preset?

This was not easy & I can't remember exactly how I did it, but it's worth a Try... 1st connect it to the computer, (charge it) While it's connected, play Radio station you want & go to tools & store in folder. I only stored 1 station bcuz it was so difficult. I bought for husband in '12 I just downloaded bunch of his fave songs & that was it. Still works w his old fave songs!

What Mr. Faine says worked for me. No shut-offs and no interference from local radio stations. It's goofy, so here's a little more detail: Follow the instructions in the review section for this product to put it in International Mode and set preset 1 to the lowest frequency (87.7). Switch the unit back to U.S. mode. Tune your FM radio to 87.7 Press the preset button repeatedly on the unit until it says 107.9. *** the unit will actually broadcast on 87.7, not 107.9. *** it no longer shuts off

Good evening, first turn on device, insert in (ant) the jack cable it works like antena, press mode until you hear radio, press button right side to "repeat" it scan the station, if you want to select the station press again.

I use the free CHIRP software. Very easy, works perfectly. Note: import radio settings from radio into the software first then change the settings, and save and upload back into the radios.

Hi. The radio face is not lighted, so selecting a preset in the dark might take a lot of familiarity with the buttons. I have never tried to do it. The preset feature is confusing to me. [Personally, I don't know why the radio thinks it needs 2000 of them.] In answer to your question about having to push more than one button in order to switch presets...I have to. However, I might have made a mistake when selecting the station. I hope this helps! Dick

Just connect it to your phone and start an audio file playing. Set it to an FM channel and then match that same channel on your radio. I usually scan the dial first for a clear channel and then set this to that channel.

You can set "presets" for both am and fm stations. By holding down the "power" on the remote, the radio will turn off.

Click the channel button on the left side of it while it's plugged in. On the right side there are more buttons. Click or hold those down until you get to the station you want it to be on. All of the buttons are labeled

Sort of. On mine, you can't manually set presets - at least I never found a way to do it. You can set it to scan and auto-define the presets, then make a list of the stations + their preset number. Mine defined about 25 station presets, which I switch between using the remote to enter their number. It's a bit awkward, but it works well enough.

Just make sure you have the right file format. I tried but it didn't work. Radio is really cheap.

No. Which is unfortunate. And the radio stations have to reset themselves it seems each time turning on. It did not have an instruction manual. Did you get any instructions?

Though I have not used this machine for radio setting, I just tested mine after reading your question. I preset several stations,turned it off, also unplugged and tested to see if the preset stations came back, and both times it did. Maybe I am lucky.

It didn't come with a preset station but I use it on 88.5 and 88.3 because those have the best sound quality for me.

Have radio on station you want to program, Press the magnifying glass button while listening to the radio, list of presets should show on screen, use up and down arrows to highlight preset number you want, last press and hold center knob (volume) until unit beeps

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.

The instruction manual sucked as far as how to really use it. I think maybe you have click the buttons simultaneously which chance it from MP3 mode to radio mode...and if the radio isn't tuned into a station it will be silent. Just have to play with the buttons, holding them own for 3 to 15 seconds. look for a blink when you do it.

can'tbetrue, I have not programed the presets as of yet I use a Satellite Receiver plugged into the MP3 input. However, having said that I believe you would have to have optional battery, separate purchase with charger in the rear compartment.
