How well does the FM radio really work? I basically just want this to leave NPR on. Can you get many stations?

i was disappointed in its reception...I actually bought it so my husband could hear the local news in the kitchen in the mornings but it doesn't pick the local station up very well, possibly signal strength for it is low but picks up other stations which must have a higher broadcast signal really well..still I am very pleased the Bluetooth function works great so I just stream downloaded music from my phone when i'm busy

I leave NPR on all he time. It works. Reception depends on where you live. I am in Philly.

For us the FM radio works great. We can get all the same stations we get in our car.

It does very well and we get several FM stations. I got this as a gift for my boyfriend and he loves it. I would highly recommend it

I just tried it and it didn't work. But if you just press favorites, it brings them up. Also "last listened" brings up the last 10 stations.

The FM radio is pretty good, you can program it to your desired stations and listen to the ones you want, the COBY MP3610 has a slightly better radio program, but since these are both manufactured by COBY, both are good..Hope I was of help.. :)

Stations are present on pages just find the station hit the memory button and it puts it in that location. To my thinking it works well. It is a very nice radio. RD

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.

That's actually exactly how it's designed to work. You set the station to where it's all fuzzy and static. And it works flawlessly. Hope that helps. :)

I never turn on FM radio. I sent one mp3 to my friend. I only download some songs from Chinese website. I even don't know there is FM radio with the mp3.

The radio does NOT come with a listing of the stations available! Why? You will discover that there are more than 18,000 Wi-Fi Stations from which to choose. There are many Categories from which to choose and it is easy to select from those listed stations. For instance - there are News Stations, Talk Radio, Music Preference, Religious, etc. You'll find it much easier to program your radio than you may think! We are enjoying our's and know you will enjoy yours.

What Mr. Faine says worked for me. No shut-offs and no interference from local radio stations. It's goofy, so here's a little more detail: Follow the instructions in the review section for this product to put it in International Mode and set preset 1 to the lowest frequency (87.7). Switch the unit back to U.S. mode. Tune your FM radio to 87.7 Press the preset button repeatedly on the unit until it says 107.9. *** the unit will actually broadcast on 87.7, not 107.9. *** it no longer shuts off

I have used 3 fm stations, but I'm sure that you can get up to 5 station at the very least.

Yes, Turn on G3 ,tune to 105.9FM, press page/time button, select a page number using up down buttons, select one of F1_F7 and hold for 2 secs and a flashing box will appear around what ever page number you chose. You can select up to seven FM stations on that page. Hope this helps

There is an FM tuner built in. I've never hooked it up, but there are enough music apps I've not felt the need to do so.

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

I haven't needed to use more than one yet.But since I bought it so I could listen to one favorite station that fades in and out on the regular FM radios, I don't use the menus much anymore.The menu buttons are touch sensitive and respond quickly, which takes a little getting used to. but it's not too bad once you're accustomed to it.

That's a drag - personally live365 is a waste. last.fm would be better - even though THEY aren't the best - BUT I do like Pandora and that being on the unit is enough.Thanks.

Yes you can stream NPR. You can select Radio and do a search for NPR, and there are several that come up. There are also a multitude of stations of all kinds you can stream. It's a great system. I plan on buying a second one for my second floor when I have the money.

It's Internet Radio and not a am/fm radio. Getting am / fm stations off the internet has better reception then from the air.
