How is the quality of the am/fm radio?

For a small unit I find it extremely great on all stations AM and FM I got it mainly for the turn table as I had some 45 RPM records from the 50's and was looking for some thing to play them on they turned out wonderful the volume was better than what I expected from a unit that small

Exetremely great!!! The first time I used it, it was filled with static. Then I turned the knob for radio reception, and it was clear if you turned it just right. I get KBAQ perfectly!

The quality is very good! I get all the major stations in my area no problems!

Yes, in fact that's mostly what I use on it, the radio seems pretty good too but it's a little fuzzy, that could have to do with my antenna though. Great radio for the price.

I'd say the audio quality is very high-clear, detailed, and crisp for a radio this type, because it has bass and treble buttons to adjust to your sound taste. I'm a pc game player online on a daily basis and I have a very high-end soundcard, speaker system, and headset. I know the difference between bad noise and great sound. This radio can easily pickup AM and FM signals clearly without interference due to an enhanced signal gain feature. There is one minor drawback I'd say is that it's may be big and bulky to someone.

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

This radio works well for AM and FM reception. I live in the country, and often tinker in a metal outbuilding where I have an old stereo receiver (the kind with large remote speakers and lots on inputs like you would have in a living room) from the 90's with a digital tuner using a wire inside the building for an antenna. That system will often loose reception when all doors are closed. This little radio works better on both AM and FM even though I don't bother to extend the antenna.

hi catie , love this thing to death , the re-charge batteries are great , it runs for no less than 12 hrs at work , it has a very high volume output , my only gripe is the reception, it can be terrible at time`s , I have no idea why , but being digital , you can not simply turn the dial to make it come in better , but it does have the ability to use your phone or what ever type of electronics you might have , I do not have any of that crap , just the AM - FM , but for the durability and coolness of the radio , it is worth every penny , just needs a bigger antenna from radio shack or something . hi catie , love this thing to death , the re-charge batteries are great , it runs for no less than 12 hrs at work , it has a very high volume output , my only gripe is the reception, it can be terrible at time`s , I have no idea why , but being digital , you can not simply turn the dial to make it come in better , but it does have the ability to use your phone or what ever type of electronics you might have , I do not have any of that crap , just the AM - FM , but for the durability and coolness of the radio , it is worth every penny , just needs a bigger antenna from radio shack or... » Read More hi catie , love this thing to death , the re-charge batteries are great , it runs for no less than 12 hrs at work , it has a very high volume output , my only gripe is the reception, it can be terrible at time`s , I have no idea why , but being digital , you can not simply turn the dial to make it come in better , but it does have the ability to use your phone or what ever type of electronics you might have , I do not have any of that crap , just the AM - FM , but for the durability and coolness of the radio , it is worth every penny , just needs a bigger antenna from radio shack or something . « Show Less

The stations I listen to on AM come through loud and clear. I mostly listen to sports and political talk shows when I drive my wife's car (where this stereo is installed).

Hi, it's pretty good. My favorite station is hard to pick up where I live, but it comes in very clear on this. It's also easy to set the stations. On my last Sony, after the batteries died (for back up), I couldn't ever figure out how to set the stations again! BTW, I just tested the AM band as well as the public station that is probably about 60 miles away, and the reception is clear on those too!

Audio quality is good considering unit has one speaker. The bass and treble controls only help to improve the audio range.The sensitivity of the receiver is very good and with an external antenna you should have no problem with receiving any "difficult" FM stations.

It does have an AM/FM radio however I've never used it. I play music on it with flash drives and the sound is fantastic.

Yes, it's the old fashioned simple radio. On, Off switch, knob to find stations and volume, no fancy bells and whistles, easy to find stations, both AM and FM. I am very pleased with it.

The AM and FM reception is very good with the use of the Shark Antenna. I'm pleased with it.

Yep. The tuner in this is so good, there are even hacks to enable the analog FM exclusively. Audiokarma is a good place to read about the tuner.

I haven't tried for any AM Stations - but - I do get some FM Stations of my choice! It helps IF you know the Call Letters of the Station you are seeking!

I have owned two of these radios and would give them both five star ratings. I can't say why some folks would rate the unit one star. The quality I value most is its ability to pick up distant AM and FM stations with weak signals. It has excellent sound quality and offers dual power. I would not suggest any changes to make it better, except perhaps to have an ipod plug.

Depends on your local noise situation. The biggest enemy of AM radio isn't the quality of the radios, so much as the level of electronic interference from electronics and power lines. That said, this radio has good selectivity. If you want more sensitivity (and less selectivity) you'd be better off with a radio with a larger ferrite antenna like the Degen 1103 - it also has better audio and is a larger radio. The Tecsun audio is tinny due to the small speaker.

It is good. I suppose it depends on the area you live in. I gave this radio to my 90 yr old mother and she is thrilled with it. In her area, Central New Jersey, she gets good reception from fm stations in NY, Phil, and Princeton.
