Does this system pick up AM stations clearly?

I get about a dozen AM stations that seem to pick up pretty clear, depending on where I am at in the city.

I've had this radio for 2 1/2 years in Tucson and haven't received a single AM station. Either scanning or manual all I get is static. Could be a bad apple though.

The stations I listen to on AM come through loud and clear. I mostly listen to sports and political talk shows when I drive my wife's car (where this stereo is installed).

Technically no, but you can stream AM/FM stations from around the world if it is connected to the internet. Otherwise you will need a seperate tuner.

Yes, but it will interfere with the distance your antenna can get a signal from. This may or may not matter depending on where the stations are you are trying to pick up.

Yes. It also pulls down HD signals for certain FM stations and gives you presets for AM and FM

Yes it does have an AM receiver that has good reception. Whoever posted that was wrong! :)

Well that depends if there are two connection terminals (positive & negative) for the antenna on the back of your system. If so, this antenna will vastly improve your FM reception. I have a 40 year old Pioneer SX-636 AM/FM receiver and live in the countryside. After adding this antenna to my system it now picks up numerous FM stations that I could not tune in before. I am quite elated and satisfied with the antenna.

Yes, it should. I live in a mountainous area. I did pick up a few extra stations and what I did get seemed to come in clearer.

Hi, it's pretty good. My favorite station is hard to pick up where I live, but it comes in very clear on this. It's also easy to set the stations. On my last Sony, after the batteries died (for back up), I couldn't ever figure out how to set the stations again! BTW, I just tested the AM band as well as the public station that is probably about 60 miles away, and the reception is clear on those too!

Seems like it will get most (but not all) tune in stations. Some exceptions are Iheart radio stations. There are some others that are blocked.

It does have an standard Antenna input for AM/FM. It uses an external GPS antenna / receiver via the USB ports.

Short wave works ok. Just receives am no ssb. But it is pretty amazing how well it picks up the stations. It really picks up am local broadcast here in the us very good, for its size and cost. I really like mine

My Terk am antenna is surrounded by a tv, several pieces of audio equipment and powered speakers and I have no problems picking up clear am reception...�

Mine does that too. I think it mostly depends on your location and distance to the broadcasting station. I bought a signal booster but it didn't do a lot.

Yes. I get all the local FM radio stations. Some are stronger than others but the FM on this unit is decent. No AM though.

We have had no problem with either AM or FM reception and listen to the radio as often as the CD player. We do live in a rural area on top of a hill, but the nearest station is about 17 miles away, and we have no problems receiving it.

If you're talking about AM or SW signals then yes. But your question is too broad for a definite answer. If you live 100 miles from a 50,000 watt clear channel AM station, (WABC for example) then yes you will probably pick it up.

It picks them up if the antenna is placed in the right spot. My old rabbit ears worked better for some stations. If you can get the antenna to an outside wall or window it works pretty well.
