We have no problem receiving channel 2. We have been pleased with our purchase. If you need more detailed information, you might get your question answered by the manufacturer. http://www.winegard.com/get-free-tv/contact/

It will tune in any over-the-air broadcast that your digital antenna will pick up. The key here is the digital antenna. I used one when I moved a year and a half ago, and it was fine because I had good reception in the area. Then I moved again a couple of months ago, and I couldn't pick up anything...zero...zilch...nada! Where I'm at now, I'm kind of down in a valley, and it's impossible to pick up a signal. Bottom line, it will tune anything that your antenna will pick up.

Depending on location you are driving, around city it will pick up good but going farther out or under bridges it will be cutting in and out. I would not recommend it. If you want little better reception stick it on a top corner of a windshield. It worked for me.

I would guess that it picks up radar 2-3 miles in advance if they are pinging other cars. as far as updatable, I do not know since I just purchased mine recently but would be surprised if it was not

It has some automatic setting, so it picks us local bands easily. It could use a better speaker for clarity. Weaker signals are pretty fuzzy.

Frequency response seems to be fairly flat. I use an equalizer to adjust (boost or cut) the spectrum as needed.

Range is pretty good, though I use it mainly in the kitchen while my iPhone is in my pocket. I can adjust the volume or skip songs while my hands are damp or dirty. I have been able to go to other rooms and still hear the music playing though the signals breaks up if I go some place like our utility room with a lot metal.

The only time the unit picks up signals IS when the antennae is up. If yours is doing that with the antennae up, then it is fine.

Although I have not used it to scan police frequencies, the range of this radio does cover the150 and 450 MHz bands that are commonly used. Municipalities are often using other methods rather than FM for communications these days.

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.

Not very good, it depends on where you are. It is clear when you are in range

It does pick up FM signal. Additionally, it has reception bars to let you know the broadcast signal strength, both manual and preset capability, auto search to locate stations with reception, digital display out to one decimal point (##.#MHz) so you can find your stations manually if desired, it allows tuning via 0.1 incremental movement which can be tedious but better for signal locating then not having this ability. There is no AM, sorry sports fans. The instruction manual that comes with the device gives clear directions for how to save/preset stations and use the interface to access the radio features. I hope this helped.

According to my husband, FM reception is fine. Other than just to try it out, we haven't really used it.

Not at all friend. It has its limitations, including its frequency range and fidelity, It does the job very well though if you are looking for something decent...Regards.

It doesn't pick up AM or FM signals, but most almost every AM/FM radio station also broadcasts HD radio, which it will pick up, from anywhere in the world. It is very easy to set up for HD radio and has a "Local Stations" menu that puts all local stations together into one list.

I went back to the description and it says "Frequency range: 50 ~ 60Hz" so than you are all set, I've had mine for a year and I never turn it off and it's been wonderful
