It has been my experience that if the station that is broadcasting is using less than 50 thousand watts, that the radio won't pick it up.

Yes. Mine is incredibly finicky. The FM is so sensitive that it takes me a few min to tune stations. The AM is rock solid. I do think it needs to be fixed though, it shouldn't be that hard to tune in a station like the one I'm trying to get. I have a Sangean digital radio and it gets everything just fine.

I haven't tried for any AM Stations - but - I do get some FM Stations of my choice! It helps IF you know the Call Letters of the Station you are seeking!

FM reception is fine. We live in an area with a lot of radio stations and sometimes you run into one station stepping on another's signal, but that's not a function of the radio. The stations we have programmed in come in perfectly clear. In my opinion you can't beat the sound or quality of this radio for the money.

I listen to AM & FM on it with ear phones and the sound is great. And the little speak of its own belts out good sound too. Remember tho, this isn't an i-pod, its an 'old school' am/fm pocket radio that is a big improvement from the ones I used as a kid in the 60's. Perfect for listening to a baseball game which is my main use for it. Enjoy.

Absolutely, the sound isn't half bad. My only 'complaint ' is you cannot see what station you are tuning to.

I feel like it's a little better reception, but with no display, tuning is a little awkward. The one FM station which was difficult to hear on my old one, is significantly better now with the new one.

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.

All the AM stations I have in my area come in very good with this unit. Hope that helps.

The AM and FM reception is very good with the use of the Shark Antenna. I'm pleased with it.

Haven't tried AM, but FM is absolutely TOP NOTCH. Clearest recordings I've ever had.

FM reception is very good in the city--don't know about outlying areas. It's a little tricky to tune since not much space between bands, but still a very good little radio for the price.

I'm satisfied with the FM reception but a lot has to do with where you place itAnd that goes for all of my four radios.

Yes. I get all the local FM radio stations. Some are stronger than others but the FM on this unit is decent. No AM though.

It's good. Not especially great, but definitely good. It comes with a 4-5 foot FM antenna cable (and similar AM antenna) and what appears to be a standard connection port, so you could possibly attach a 3rd-party antenna.

Reception is great for me. AM stations will break up after sundown here in Philly, but that happens with nearly every stationary radio. FM is consistently strong - never had a proble

The radio FM reception is very good. This is the third waterproof radio I have had and it is by far the best.
