How is FM reception?

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

FM reception is fine. We live in an area with a lot of radio stations and sometimes you run into one station stepping on another's signal, but that's not a function of the radio. The stations we have programmed in come in perfectly clear. In my opinion you can't beat the sound or quality of this radio for the money.

Better then most but not great got this for my wife as where she works as she could only get one station now she has five.

For the area around Wheatland, Ca. the reception of FM is excellent regardless of the time.

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

I have not tried to see what reception is like. I bought the product to use with USB media and with that it works great. I can give it a try and see.

Yes, it gets great FM reception. It has an FM wire antenna that can be moved around, and it also has a detachable AM antenna. It picks up more stations more clearly than my previous sony cd clock radio.

To answer your question I am not sure due to the fact that I purposely bought it for FM reception since I had no other way to receive that signal Sorry I could help you further. I have nevr really tried it.

Where I live I do not receive FM very well. I use it primarily with my cell connected to Pandora.

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

Not very well. The reception is horrible. You get very few stations on any of the bands its on. Very very bad reception. And even worse sound quality.

I have not used for FM reception but for picking up TV channels and it works just fine, in fact better than a previous model I had.

This radio has good analog FM reception compared to most inexpensive radios. The HD portion of the signal is always weaker than the regular portion. Do not expect HD reception if regular reception is weak. In a location where a cheap radio has poor reception, this radio will have noticeably better reception but will not receive HD. http://www.element14.com/community/groups/wireless/blog/2013/07/26/testing-hd-radio

For the cost and the size of the unit the FM reception is really good. The only problem is that there is no antenna so you have to use the headphones that come with the unit to get the best reception. I work in a rural part outside of Atlanta and I work in a metal booth that is totally inclosed. I have had reception issues with other headsets and this is by far the best. Hope that helps

Thank you for your inquiry. This product can play FM radio. Reception frequency is 76.0-108.0MHz. I hope that this answer is useful to you. Thank you all!

The FM receiver is good, but reception is going to be more a function of your FM antenna. I have a large, omnidirectional "S" shaped antenna which, in the over-radio'd Charlotte NC market pulls in a station on almost every frequency -- even WNCW, the popular non-commercial station from western NC.

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

No - the reception isn't that good. I wouldn't rely on it for its FM receiver.
