How is the reception, I am 90 miles from radio stations

Reception is great for me. AM stations will break up after sundown here in Philly, but that happens with nearly every stationary radio. FM is consistently strong - never had a proble

Didn't help my problem very much. Have to move it every day. Difficult to get clear reception. There is something wrong with signals around 92.5 station that is about 60 miles away.

I have poor radio service where I live at. It has a wire antenna that plugs in the back and I do get good reception and sound!!!!

There are only three stations. One at 88.1, one somewhere towards 97 and, one at 107.9. Depending on the area you are in and the number of radio stations around, one of the three usually works without disruption.

FM reception is not too good where I live---but then, we cannot get ANY TV broadcast here and the stereo in the house gets only static. When we drive to the big city, however, the reception is quite good! Guess a lot depends on one's signal strength, eh?!

I've gotten excellent reception with FM; I live in a rural area which makes reception problematic with some radios, but I haven't had any problems.

Mine is excellent. And, I live in a fairly rural suburb. My previous, larger radio did not have reception as good as this one.

It doesnt really matter what you live in, what matters most is how far away or what terrain is in between your broadcast stations. I live about 30 miles away from the local stations and I am happy with the antenna. (also a mobile home)

I don't think that will be a problem for you at all. We have a smaller house but live on several acres and I have been probably 20-30 yards away and still had reception. Just watch the battery. Keep it plugged in unless you need to walk off

I live in an apartment in the lowest point of the city, about 5 blocks from the Mississippi River. (Dubuque, Iowa)There is a FM station I like about 30 miles away. My other radios won't receive it. This one does with a little hissin the backround on the normal setting. By switching to the DX mode, It comes in clear.The AM mode isn't bad, but with the loop antenna built in, I find I have to face the radio in the directionof the station I want. Local stations work great with out having to do this. Hope this helps.Russ

It has a better receiver than my radio shack radio. I was impressed with the clarity of am, fm as well. 100 miles seems like a possibility if the broadcast station is a strong one.

The reception is great for me. My office is in the middle of a concrete building with large HVAC equipment on the roof above me and I have no trouble picking up my local public radio station. I just adjust the antenna every now then if things get wonky.

I'm not sure but I tested the radios at a campground and was abot 2 miles away and there were lots of trees and my wife was in the camper and the reception was still great.

Where I live I use the vacant channel 88.7FM. I measured...from transmitter to pocket radio I got good reception from8 to 12 feet. Beyond that I got static. CCrane has a list of vacant FM channels for a person's area. Hope this helps.

I listened to my 'broadcast' for at LEAST 1/4 mile one day as I drove away from my house. (I will caution you, however, that you should use this ability with caution. As someone else has commented, the device does not meet FCC Requirement, 'Part 15'--or something like that. Use it responsibly.)

I don't know how big the range is. It worked ok for me but the local stations are very close by. It probably average. It is going to depend where you live and the geography between you and the broadcast towers.

My daughter has gotten up to 1/8 mile in distance. Being a 2.4ghz system you get no interference and a better distance than the old am and fm radios .
