How is the reception of this radio?

I get pretty good reception inside an office building, but I am close to a window/outside wall. No complaints.

Pretty good, better when you unravel the wire antenna. It is not as good at rejecting computer drive rf noise (bathroom sharing a wall with my computer). When I take it outside it is really good. I am using it on on interior wall in an aluminum sided home, radio has been troublesome.

Excellent reception! I recently purchased a Bose system for listening to the radio and multiple CDs. I tried to listen to my favorite radio station: Couldn't find it on the Bose, but easy to find the station on the Sangen radio. It comes in.at foll strength and with great sound quality, even without having to use the antenna!

The reception is outstanding. I get similar, if not better reception with my Sangean radio than with my car radio. Most of the time I don't even extend the antenna to pick up my favorite stations.

I use my radio on a large lake in northern Minnesota. I think it has good sound ad pretty good reception. It's the best portable radio I have found for my use. This is the second one I have had. They take a beating in the boat and I don't think the moisture does them any good but I have been satisfied with my radio.

i got this radio so that i can listen to it where i live (Manasass Park, VA) because reception down there is very bad. This radio solves that problem. I can listen to my FM station with no static. I recommend it.

I would say it has better than average reception of am/fm stations. It comes with external fm antenna and it's internal am antenna is vary good.

I don't know. However, I can say the radio reception is terrible. FM was weak and AM was worse. I sold the unit on eBay. Sorry I couldn't help more.

I have great reception on the radio although I don't use it much. The battery lasts a long time. . This is a good device

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

Hmm. This seems to get better reception than a basic pocket radio so I think you would be ok. For the money you could give it a try and see. I use mine inside my garage and reception is crystal clear.

The radio reception is excellent. Crisp, clear words and music. Several FM Stations to choose from in my area (upstate NY). The battery in mine has lasted since I bought it, which was many months ago...I have had to recharge after prolonged use, but never change a battery out. It is a great little unit...I recommend it highly. I am very satisfied with it.

Yes the tuner is a bit touchy however I was able to tune in quite a few stations. It seems to me that in an emergency you may be able to get more stations that will carry important information. I think it is a good radio for the money when you consider all of the other features.

I do not have any trouble with my reception but it may have to do with my location. The good news is that it comes with an antenna, though not a fantastic one. I receive a strong signal from my favorite radio station which is located over 60 miles away, if that helps.

FM reception is very good in the city--don't know about outlying areas. It's a little tricky to tune since not much space between bands, but still a very good little radio for the price.

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

Hello D. Deen. I work in a older 3 story building, approx 90 plus years old, made of brick and cinder block. I get good reception on the second floor. The FM is strong regardless where the radio is. The AM works better by a window and away from electronics like computers. All said I am very happy with this radio.

Yep, as the others have said, that's what I use mine for too. Works very well. Only drawback is it's hard to get any reception for the radio feature.

Yeah. So far it has been a great receiver. Antenna is very short and out of the way. Car runs great with it.

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
