Can this be used to listen to local AM radio stations in the United States?

No, it cannot. The tuner can only be used down to 30 MHz. The AM band ranges from 530 kHz to 1710 kHz. This device also cannot receive shortwave radio.

If you can get it to work at all, it may. I couldn't do anything with it. The software that came with it was only for tuning foreign TV signals, not US and not any other type of signal. I couldn't even get any response from that. The unit seemed to be completely dead.
1591006
I'm not sure. I would say no. I got mine to pick up 700mhz police radios. It works for that but otherwise I don't know anything about it
1591007
No! The frequency response of the device doesn't go that low, but I've never been able to get mine to work.

By "local AM radio stations", you're probably referring to broadcast AM radio. That's far below the frequency range of the receiver if you follow the manufacturer's specs, however RTL-SDR has links to articles that demonstrate either software or hardware mods, or the use of an upconverter, to tune lower than that range. Other AM signals you CAN tune to are found in the US aircraft band, 118-138Mhz. There's even software to allow you to track airplanes overhead (search for RTL SDR ACARS).

Both of these radios have frequency ranges that are compatible, so yes. Please be aware that you must have an amateur radio license before transmitting. You don't need a license to listen.

Yes you can as long as the radio station (a blank one) is in position. Great sound.

I don't know for sure, but I doubt it. The device must be set to an FM frequency, so I'd guess no.

If the radio has an AUX port it will plug right in ti it.. There is also a cassette tape deck adapter. It can also be connected using an FM adapter. That would be my last choice. It conflicts with local FM stations.

No, you can not. Despite their claims, you can not listen to the stations of your choice. The stations must provide the proper MP3 format, and many have other formats, if any. This item sits here on my desk, unused and unusable for the purpose I was lead to believe it would fulfill.

Yes, and this particular unit had an AM/FM radio. You can switch between the unit you want to listen too. Enjoy!

Local FM stations cannot be read by this device. It actually uses a network WiFi signal to access internet radio stations.

I don't know. I don't really listen to am stations. Sorry I can't be more help.

I listen to AM talk radio so its not to bad with AM. But when listening to FM music you will loose a lot of stereo quality. I do anyway here in Lou,Ky. We are not on flat ground around here. I put my factory antenna back on. I personally don't recommend it.

You can, but the device would not tune to a station the second time I tried it. It was useless

Absolutely yes. If Indian radio stations have broadcasts that are on a frequency between 530-1605 kHz AM, and 87.5-108 MHz FM, this radio will receive them without any problems whatsoever. BTW, I'm a licensed ham radio operator, so I have some knowledge in this area. :)

Sure you can plug it in, but you probably won't receive anything. I'm quite sure that all broadcasts in the United States are now in digital except for possibly the odd UHF station.

I bought the unit for my parent in law. They used it to watch TV program from China. I don't know if it can receive local channels. The signals aren't very good.

Yes you can, many radio stations on shortwave bands transmitt music, its quite interesting. Do not expect exceptional sound quality though.

Think it only has an AM / FM receiver. You would have to look into some sort of adapter.

Yes you can. It includes provisions for both an AM and FM antenna. I didn't have much luck with the included AM because of local interference.RR
