I have had no problems receiving all my local am fm radio stations. Can not beat this radio for the price.

I live in a remote rural area, so your results may vary. The FM section is above average for a radio this size. It will likely pick up as many stations as your average AM/FM stereo receiver. Regarding AM, my area receives only one AM station in the daytime. At night, it appears that this radio will pick up as many stations as any other, although stations close together may be hard to separate. In a city environment, this radio should tune either AM or FM satisfactorily.

the am/fm tuning is good but we really do not use it much for that purpose. We wish the weather alerts could be more specific to our local area.

The Howard Leight plays Am and FM. What sold me is that it keeps the station in tune better than any of the others even with the vibration of sitting on a riding lawnmower all day with 5 aces of lawn to mow. Batteries last a long time too.

According to my husband, FM reception is fine. Other than just to try it out, we haven't really used it.

Yes, with the plug in antenna the FM reception is good. However, AM is terrible.

Haven't tried AM, but FM is absolutely TOP NOTCH. Clearest recordings I've ever had.

Hello Ashley: It has digital tuner for the am/fm, you can adjust the radio channel with the tun+/tun- buttons.

I can't help on this one. I have not had occasion to try to tune in to TV. But, it's great with AM and FM.

Yes there are presets, both AM and FM. It took a while to figure it out, but it does work. I seldom use the radio so It makes little difference to me. Still a nice unit for the money.

Sorry, but I never use AM. But I can tell you that the FM works significantly better than any of my previous alarm clocks.Cheers.

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.

I do not listen to much radio with the unit, I bought it for the CD player. It does play in both AM and FM mode, I think the FM comes in better than the AM, but I can get the local AM stations.

It must be the lead wire that is part of the head set for FM. The AM is built into the radio. I don't see anything else. This radio is used for hours every day and has a good signal here at the house.

Unfortunately no, it is. FM only. Reception on FM is also unfortunately poor.

Frankly, I don't know. Mine got stolen a long time ago. I had not used FM before I lost it.

that depends of course on the power of the radio station. Simply put, at this time: of all portable receivers that i have played with (and i have owned too many) this is the most sensitive for FM. For AM: It is not in the same league as the PL-310ET (the ferrite rod is too short). For SW: distance is not the issue, but time of day and sun activity -but it is quite good. In worst case, Amazon is very generous in understanding that this was returned because it did not meet your requirements

Depress the MW/LW button on the right side of the radio. You should be able to thumb through the AM band with the tuning control. The MW/LW switch gives you AM as well as access to the shortwave bands with are selected by the controls beneath the MW/LW cotrol. Hope this helps.
