how about FM radio reception?

The radio reception isn't the greatest.. But in all honesty, this is the best flip out I've ever owned. Comparing to Kenwood and Jensen. I absolutely love the interface and all the features. I can overlook the radio reception.

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

Yes, however, I have found this receiver severely lacking in FM sensitivity. I don't know if it has a problem locking in the signal or if it is just a poor tuner design. All other features work pretty well though.

Good question! never tried the fm reception so I can't answer it. Matter of fact I do not have this antenna anymore.

Does nothing for AM reception (most radios have a built in ferrite bar antenna for AM). It does improve weather radio frequency reception and FM reception depending on placement of the antenna.

I feel like it's a little better reception, but with no display, tuning is a little awkward. The one FM station which was difficult to hear on my old one, is significantly better now with the new one.

It can absolutely receive those frequencies. I'm not sure exactly what you'd hear, but you would hear something. Try changing the modulation between FM and AM if it doesn't work at first.

It automatically tunes to the frequency if you are in range. I've never had a problem with reception except in certain places in buildings where the signal is blocked.

So far, my reception has been pretty good. There are times that it is a problem from more distant stations, but for the stations I listen to, the reception has been very good.

I had to send both units I received back as the FM reception was defective. Please try another brand. John

The radio reception is about as good as my car radio. I mostly listen to FM. I live in the Ozarks, so if I am behind a mountain I do not get reception. If I am on top of a mountain the radio pulls in stations very well. I do not know how long the battery lasts using only the radio.

This unit does not receive stations via FM transmission. However, once you hook it up to your network there is a local stations list. It will be the stations near the unit that stream via the internet. The programming will be slightly delayed compared to over the air programming. <<< just in case you are trying to be caller number 10.

DH uses these in workshop and he said reception is fair, compared to his stationary radio that he uses in workshop. Hope this helps.

You would need to pick a station that is the most optimal for reception. Here, live 106.7 is really bad on my car - I can only hear just a faint, but 105.9 (unused station) did it for me. Now it sounds really clear without any humming noise during intermission.

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 listen to FM nearly weekly and plays very well. Also has the weather band so if bad weather in the area you can get the most recent weather updates. The radio is very easy to operate and the directions to set the clock and preset your favorite stations is easy to figure out.

No problem with my radio. Pulling in FM stations loud and clear from over 100 miles away using the internal antenna. AM reception is rather weak so I've added an external antenna to get better AM reception
