How is music reception on f m frequency on a weak station?

We don't have many weak stations with this radio. We live quite a ways out of town and we love it. I am very glad we got it as we listen to several stations we couldn't get before. Henry listens to music more then I do and he says it is good

We have had no problem with either AM or FM reception and listen to the radio as often as the CD player. We do live in a rural area on top of a hill, but the nearest station is about 17 miles away, and we have no problems receiving it.

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

What area are you from? I'm in Philly and I get reception on 88.1. If you can't get it on that channel, try the lower fm channels 88.1-90.7You might also want to try higher channels, 107.9-106.5...good luck ; )

yup if it is only as small as football field , I give you a tip set it on low output set the frequency to 87.3 so there is no signal crash with other local radio , and I use Coby CX90 radio as a receiver it works fine , hopefully it help.

I use my Sony Walkman for FM reception while running 4 miles. I get good reception while running and switch through various FM stations that I have preset. I only preset the strong stations that are local to ensure good quality.

It automatically tunes to the frequency if you are in range. I've never had a problem with reception except in certain places in buildings where the signal is blocked.

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.

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

In my experience that shouldn't be happening. I was always able to pick a station on the FM band, match it on the digital readout, and pipe my iPhone through the car speakers. On intuition rather than science, I picked low powered stations (88.7 or 90.2 for example) rather than powerhouses and had good fidelity.

Reception is limited at best. It does a better job when the power cord is connected. Otherwise I can tune in a station but the moment after I set it down I hear static.

I don't notice any on mine. It does a good job of locking onto stations, especially weaker ones I could not get before. Rotate the AM bar antenna for clarity and run the wire antenna close to a window for good FM/SW reception. Very, very clear. I listen with Sony buds at low volume often. Of course, a more elaborate antenna setup willenhance S/W abilities. But the DSP chips used do live up to their claims on this gem.

Yes, I'm happy with it, but I only listen to one FM station. Sometimes it depends on where you position your player. If it does not work in one part of the house, try changing location. Or try moving the antenna in different directions.

Yes, not much of a problem with FM stations, but AM gets blitzed by all the flourescent lighting. Don't forget to pull up the antenna to increase FM reception.

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

Sorry, I have only ever used FM. But that is mediocre at best as well. I mainly use my iPhone with the supplied cable to play music.

I just ran through the SW bands again - it is now 9:30ish pm ET and I got 25 good stations. Either my location is better, or my radio is just a lucky example and the quality control was not good. My USB and SD card slots work - both in stereo. I am sorry yours isn't performing as well.
