can it pick up fm stations inside a building

Hi Marilyn, and well, I can say yes, that it can pick up stations in my building. My building is brick in the front, wood frame in the back. If you live in a high-rise, most of those types of buildings have steel framing, and just as long as you were in a building with windows, I would imagine that your reception would be fine. UPDATE: I had an idea, and I took the radio downstairs into my cellar, which is very old with very thick stone walls and heavy steel I-beams to hold up the floors of the house. The radio performed perfectly, on AM and on FM, so I can say yes, even when surrounded by heavy construction, this radio will perform.

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.

Yes it has an fm tuner so you just plug it in and tune to whatever radio station you want.

Any FM radio will receive the signal. It should work anywhere in the house.

i would research wireless mics, most of them are compatible, and will pick up the signal from the unit.

It will play through the FM channel on your radio. They make an FM modulator that will hookup to your FM antenna.

FM radio circuit is built in to this radio but it won't receive shortwave radio. You'd need a different type of radio for that.

I do believe you would have to connect an external radio antenna in order to tune in FM radio. A better option is to stream Slacker radio or Pandora.

No. it sends an fm signal to your radio. just make sure u put the fm channel on a station that has nothing pickin up on it

Yes probably. Kind of dependable on how close you are to a radio tower. I live within 10 miles of a radio tower that broadcasts Latino musice and it drowns my Fm reception. So I have one so I can get better reception.

It picks them up if the antenna is placed in the right spot. My old rabbit ears worked better for some stations. If you can get the antenna to an outside wall or window it works pretty well.

It does have FM radio but barely picks up any stations. The sound sucks. I returned it. It came with a lose screw, made very cheap. Like the other user stated don't waste your money.

I have the leaf in my basement and get just as many stations as upstairs. Hope it helps

This can pick up any fm station coming in the set range.the clarity depends on signal strength.in the city you may have more stations but in remote area you may not get all stations.

There is none this is a cheep radio that can pick up local stations only. I would consider a grundig or sangean if you want good reception

Only if you live in an area without any FM radio stations. The range is pretty terrible and if you are more than a few feet away you will hear a radio station instead of your laptop.

I just use it at the gym as a new system was installed for which you need an FM tuner to listen to the TV or radio. I did not examine for any other uses.

That depends. If you have a flat screen with multiple source inputs then yes. This does a fine job but it only brings in local stations within range.
