Will AM signal be strong while seated in Anaheim Stadium? (830 AM)

Can't answer specifically about Anaheim Stadium...depends on where the signal originates... but on of the reasons we like this radio is that we get good AM reception out in a pasture in the middle of nowhere about a 100 miles north of Dallas.

It is not good for that. AM, FM, and Weather band frequencies only-- plus, the antenna can be expected to receive from only so far.[For proper reading of this post, please set you snark tuner to level 8]

Outside is always better than inside so I would expect some signal strength will be sacrificed...test it both inside and outside and you can judge. You may realize sufficient strength with your inside option. Check the internet for your specific question...it has a World of information.

Probably don't need a manual, Just place AM radio near the loop and reception will improve somewhat

Thanks for the feedback Frank, I appreciate it.So in theory, the monitor should be able to get OTA signals, but possibly due to weak signal reach, it won't, hence the need for an antenna... Makes sense.

I'm not sure..... I know if you have a signal it will make it stronger....good luck!

Thank you for the response! Absolutely correct, feed it a wireless signal and you are good to go!

Yes, my steel building is about the same distance from my network box and it works fine. Just set the gain for the best reception.

I can say it will do it, but you could hook up an external antenna to the back, which would definitely help. I bought one for my Mom, who lives about 75 miles from New York City, and it worked o.k. for her, but on a powerful station, WCBS. You could also look into getting an antenna booster system. C. Crane sells a "Twin Ferrite AM Antenna system. The way it works is that you mount a Ferrite antenna outdoors, somewhere where you can get a good signal, like up high, not near any obstructions, etc. A coaxial wire brings that signal into the house [you need to make a small hole], and then there is a receiver sections that you can tune to the one station that you want to receive, and the receiver has an antenna that rebroadcasts the signal from that station amplified. I looked into hooking that system up to get some weak AM stations, but haven't gotten around to it yet. The reviews for it are very encouraging. Living in the mountains might make getting your stations difficult, and also it depends on whether you listen day or night. Usually the signals travel longer at night, but the stations also cut back on their power in order not to interfere with each other. I am sorry that I can't give you a definite answer. One thought is, if there is a Ham Radio club in the area, try connecting with them. They usually have a good idea. Last thought is internet radio or Satellite radio like Serius. That is what my kids finally did when they couldn't get the AM and FM stations they wanted, even though it costs them.

Not necessarily. Mine is on a wall. It all depends on where you get good signals.

I don't use AM, only FM and the reception is excellent. I use it on my desk at my house, that is on the 5th floor.

I would replace your coax cable with a secure connection. That should solve your reception problems!

My folks have the same problem. AM interference. This unit or any other internet radio (with good reviews) is a good solution. Just make sure you set it up and update to the latest firmware. As long as you visit (and you should, lol) every so often to make sure its working right, it should be fine. Another low tech solution is a crane CC radio, which in my experience has superior AM reception. At my folks the issue was some sort of local interference creating a constant hum so CC radio would not help. All your mom would have to do is select the preset, tell her not to mess with the rest of the functions. If she will place it near her router anyways just hardwire it, and avoid some hassles. However I have this set up on the second floor with a dlink dir 655 in the basement and it works great.

I have it in my house on the 5th floor. I don't use the AM, only FM and it's excellent. Hope I can help you.

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.

Unfortunately it is. I just pick out a couple of favorite stations and go with that. I like the local sports station on AM, but it's tricky to pull in. I think the problem is mostly in the antenna. I believe some users have come up with some type of amplifacation . The radio case is quality built, don't know why Dewalt can't figure out their customers want "quality" in radio reception as in their tools.

Don't really know how good the AM frequency is but the FM is great, you just have to use an antenna :)
