I do not get AM radio reception, I want to listen to Talk Radio stations at night (helps me sleep). I have no idea how this type of radio works~

As long as you have wireless in your home you are ready to go. It plugs into the wall like a regular radio.....

It works very well- you have access to 15,000 radio stations- AM/FM - works all the same VIA your Internet WiFI - signal. My Grace radio hasall the Bells and Whisles - u can set timer to turn off after an hour or so- when you go to sleep. Jim

Basically it works from your wi-fi home network. Whatever you can get on your computer in terms of stations, you can get on the radio. That includes commercial radio as well as internet only stations. I'm in California and listen routinely to Iowa and Massachusetts stations. You can download the owner's manual at the Grace Digital web site. I'd really recommend doing that. There's something of a learning curve in using it, (baby boomer age here) though it's not hard. It's not plug 'n play, though. I'm a fan of this radio, use it as an alarm. I have a second portable version I use elsewhere in the house.

This is a Pandora radio only. Go to Pandora.com to learn about the Free service. Then Google Grace Radio GDI-IR2600 for operating instructions.

This is an internet radio. You must find the radio station on the internet web site to get the station. The radio does not get AM radio like your car radio gets would it.

The Grace internet radio receiver REQUIRES internet access either by a cable, or better sill, from a wireless connection. If you have acess to a WiFi signal, then you have access to thousands of stations from all over the world. Most broadcast stations have an "internet signal." The Grace is a neat little table radio. Sound is good for it's size. I enjoy mine.

This is not a FM or AM radio. It is a media streaming player. It will play 1000's of radio stations off of the Internet or media from your computer. It has to be connected to the Internet.

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

It's just depends on the station to have it on. In one place you might not get a signal from the radio and another you might. Try and find a station that you hear the least amount of noise preferably one that has none at all.

So far I have only seen FM and I have not actually tried to access AM. Perhaps you should pose this query directly to the manufacturer

i would avoid this radio, it isn't very good quality. I dont know if it has a sleep function, i bought it so long ago.

I have used a lot of W I have used a lot of AM radios in the past for talk radio shows. The best signal that I have ever received by far is with this radio. In my opinion you will have to spend much more to equal the reception that this will give you.

yes, you have to use the black auxiliary antenna for both the FM and the AM - it really helps with the reception

Don't really know for sure, seldom use it, but when axdently hit FM it seems loud and clear, but AM is spotty and reception is about a C +.

Hi, I had ordered 4 of these radios and had to return one for the same reason you describe. You may just have a bad one. All the others work perfectly and simply . . . Just turn it on. Be sure you are setting the ON switch to the middle position. It takes about 2 or 3 seconds till you hear the broadcast. Be sure the volume is adjusted high enough on the left side. If nothing works, return it.good luck!

I live in a remote rural area, so your results may vary. The FM section is above average for a radio this size. It will likely pick up as many stations as your average AM/FM stereo receiver. Regarding AM, my area receives only one AM station in the daytime. At night, it appears that this radio will pick up as many stations as any other, although stations close together may be hard to separate. In a city environment, this radio should tune either AM or FM satisfactorily.

Yeah this comes with AM and FM. This is really a great radio! I have it and I never really use the radio but it has an aux hook up where you can just throw your ipod on it, and also a usb hook up for if you have an iphone.

I have my radio in an inside bathroom. It gets AM/FM stations beautifully. Have not, but don't care, that it does not get TV stations.

I live in an apartment in the lowest point of the city, about 5 blocks from the Mississippi River. (Dubuque, Iowa)There is a FM station I like about 30 miles away. My other radios won't receive it. This one does with a little hissin the backround on the normal setting. By switching to the DX mode, It comes in clear.The AM mode isn't bad, but with the loop antenna built in, I find I have to face the radio in the directionof the station I want. Local stations work great with out having to do this. Hope this helps.Russ

I listen to AM talk radio so its not to bad with AM. But when listening to FM music you will loose a lot of stereo quality. I do anyway here in Lou,Ky. We are not on flat ground around here. I put my factory antenna back on. I personally don't recommend it.

The one I ordered only receives AM and FM no aviation band. Kaito may have other radios that do.

Think it only has an AM / FM receiver. You would have to look into some sort of adapter.
