Manual Tuning with FM? Hello, Can anyone tell me if it is possible to manually select an FM station that the player does not detect with autoscan?

To search for stations manually, make sure the preset stations is off. To turn it off, just push the play button ("Preset 1" or w/e will disappear off the screen) and just push left and right on the vertical touch pad to browse the station and start saving it as a preset station :) To turn the preset station on, push play again.

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.

No; you have to run each station manually on at the time. There is no "all stations manual run".

you must read the directions thouroughly. and understand the controls (each individual button). unfortunatly this is the only way to learn, thru trial and error. I especially had difficulty in setting pre-tuned stations (FM or AM) and having them remain in the device's memmory! Setting this device can be crazy as the directions are awkward to understand and navigate. My advice is to play with the radio and work things out through trial and error..

How easy to change stations? Easy. With only two knobs volume and tune plus an am/fm switch you can reach all three with the headset on. Thus you listen for the stations as it locks on the next one instead of taking the headset off to look at the dial or find tiny buttons. It is a good receiver circuit and as simple as you can get to tune. I put some pen marks on the knob locations of my favorite stations so I could pre tune it before putting it on and just "listen tuned" from there. My last brand faded when I turned my head this one does not - that is the most importtant thing not tuning since you probably will stay on your favorite station anyway.

Hi Harry,I don't use the radio, but the stations are changed by first depressing the radion on/band button. Then pressing the button again for am or fm. Once you have made that selection the "tune + or -" buttons will allow you to change stations. As for the preset mode, you will need to press the "p mode button." As for setting the presets, I can't be much help. Sorry, but I purchased the walkman for the CD feature. Good luck. P.S. Maybe your local Best Buy store representative could help you out.

Am/fm there is a button you push to auto find stations, I left it on the one it picked up best.

You can set any station as one of the presets. They can be changed at any time.

Not good at all...I'm in your typical suberb approximately 60 miles from a major city. If I hit "scan" on my radio, it will only stop at one station which is our local radio station. Even if you only listen to FM for traffic reports or whatever, it'll drive you nuts. Save the money

You can install software to select the FM frequency, but you don't need to if one of the preset switches work. The app lets you change it on the fly if you get static, but you don't need the app to use the device...just to set it up.Remember only one device can attach at a time.Good luck!

What's the frequency range are you talking about? Can you manually set the desired freq?

There is a button for stepping through the stations with each press of the button. There is a tuner knob and buttons that adjust the resolution of how slow or fast it steps through the stations as the knob is rotated. There is not a scan button like the button on the car radio where where we can scan to the next available station, or the station that is coming in strong. Hope this helps.

You really don't need instructions or a manual. It's not that confusing. Just plug it in, set the station at something there isn't a major local radio station on and tune your radio to that frequency.

Yes! SCANNING Scanning is used for hands off monitoring of your favorite frequencies. When the transceiver options are set to SCAN (via software), setting the channel selector to channel 16 directs the radio to scan the selected channels from 1-16. 1. Transceiver stops scanning when a signal is detected and continues when signal is gone. 2. If there are less than 2 channels, it cannot scan. (Go figure) 3. On channel 16, Press and Hold the PTT and MONI buttons while switching ON the transceiver to turn the Scanning ON or OFF. 4. If FM Radio function is activated via software, the radio will not scan. Note: There is no actual FM Radio function in this radio, so this option should always remain deactivated in software.

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.

Yes. You select an unused FM frequency on the device and it transmits it to your radio. Well that is supposed to be how it works anyway. Didn't work for me at all. I think the transmit power is too low?

Yes. You can use a preset station or program your own. But the audio over fm is susceptible to interference from other fm stations...
