does it have a good sound for distant stations

Well I can't really answer that as I'm in Alaska. We have a radio antenna of the local am public radio station about 300 feet away and I have trouble getting that in until after 10 am for some unknown reason. I only get a few other stations here in this part of Alaska. It's really a lovely radio with good sound but I'm not located in a spot to tell you more sorry.

Dave- I do not know where you are living so I am not sure what you mean by "distant station". I live in the Hartford , CT area which has a multitude of stations so I don't have to search for far off stations. I can tell you this- I do not even have the antenna hooked to this radio and the clarity is amazing. It is deep and rich. I do not even have to use my stereo in the house. For the money you can't beat this radio.

Yes! I live in NH and with my other radio's (basic cheaper tabletops, run of the mill variety) I couldn't listen to many of my favorite more distant stations unless I was in a particular room of my place, and even then it was often not worth listening to as there was too much static interfering with my listening pleasure. With the new Sangean I get all the stations I wanted and they come in GREAT! Really good sound! I am thinking of getting one for my Dad for Christmas as he listens to radio all night as do I.

I would say it has better than average reception of am/fm stations. It comes with external fm antenna and it's internal am antenna is vary good.

The radio has a very good sound. There are four main things to look for in a radio receiver: Sensitivity, noise, selectivity, and fidelity. What you want to know about are the selectivity - the radio's ability to separate stations that are close in frequency, and sensitivity - the ability to amplify distant stations. Yes this radio does both well. BUT, an external antenna is needed if you live a great distance from the station.

It has amazing sound. I love, love it! wouldn't trade it for nothing. I have mine in my kitchen (because I am always there cooking/cleaning) kids!And I enjoy not only the music, but talk radio. believe me, the sound is great! you will not be disappointed! I did read some comments that said it has too much base. but in my opinion it does not. and is very even. ALSO besides sounding great, it looks great as well.

I live in a metro area with numerous local stations and my listening is confined to them, so can't really address your question.

Yes, it does. But you can try to adjust it for a stronger reception. Sometimes it works better horizontally, when you point it toward the desired station.

Yes. It has a nice range. Please, don't expect a boom box. I've used it traveling and within 10 to 15 feet depending on the space it should serve you well.

Yes! It has very good range - and a really strong volume for such a small unit!

Not too much. All the major stations and ones I would get HD radio come in fine. The far distant ones that I never got before my truck are now a little statiky but not horrible.

I might also add that the sound system is pretty weak. It will work fine in a small area but you will have a problem hearing it in a larger room.

I'm not positive but I don't think the distant makes a differents.But I would check with Tech support of the system you are using.Hope this is helpful

John, this is primarily designed for Amateur radio TRANSMITTING. So it's at best efficient at the frequencies it's designed for. Will it work on higher frequencies? Yes it just will not be as well tuned for higher freq. You should be able to hear local PS stations.

I bought one and all i can get it to do is static radio stations. sorry i not much help you got farther than me with it.

Not that I'm aware of, but that would be great. The radio is fantastic. I'm getting stations I'd never gotten clearly before. It was a big investment for me, but glad I took the plunge.

No, but the signal can get interfered with depending on the object. It might cut out a bit. For best sound try not to be in different rooms

It is not ideal but the sound quality is acceptable. In fact, that is where I have placed my unit. The biggest challenge (in addition to sound quality) with a high placement is turning the unit on and off.

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

It has a better receiver than my radio shack radio. I was impressed with the clarity of am, fm as well. 100 miles seems like a possibility if the broadcast station is a strong one.

I don't know. I only was able to get radio stations (which how I got them I don't know) and not anything else. When my kids get home I will ask them if they can do anything with it. I PLAYED with the buttons and found a station (don't ask me how though) I liked but it is okay for sound quality but only ok. I won't buy any more.

Honestly, it's going to be hard to answer this question. If you're asking how the radio sounds...Then I would say it sounds great depending on how good your speakers are. As for the second part of your question, this radio is not for broadcasting. So you will not be heard on the other end at all.

If you can hear the station that you are talking about without the antenna then yes having an amplified antenna would help greatly but if you have nothing but static then that is all you will have with the antenna because and aunt Anna can only amplify noise if that's all it has hope this helped
