I have the 1000 watts system and it sounds great. I don't know about the 250 watt. You might want to upgrade .

This radio is analog but it does narrow and wideband.......however this model is one of baofeng's worst ones and is total garbage in my book.....the new UV-82 is a MUCH MUCH better radio. (I have both)..........if you are really under a budget crunch get the uv5r but RUN away from the UVb5 and UVb6...total CRAP

I never could get it to work. I could not even get static. The whole purpose was to get an FM receiver for my mother which would work in the pool as she exercised. This never worked.

Well that depends if there are two connection terminals (positive & negative) for the antenna on the back of your system. If so, this antenna will vastly improve your FM reception. I have a 40 year old Pioneer SX-636 AM/FM receiver and live in the countryside. After adding this antenna to my system it now picks up numerous FM stations that I could not tune in before. I am quite elated and satisfied with the antenna.

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.

This model does not support FM broadcast band reception. I have two and the specs on the ad are not correct. You likely have to go to the 5 series but don't k ow for sure.

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.

I purchased one of those systems, but I returned it. I found the UHF signal to be a lot better. I do not sell them either.

hmm i returned it and got another one and the reception is still very poor. I guess it's related to some interference then!

I ran my MacBook Pro out of it. It worked but I returned it because it was poorly made. It was the beginning of a series of upgrades and that was the worst piece of equipment I ever owned. I would put it in my shop so it can get all dusty and die. But right now I bit the bullet and bought two Yamaha HS7 powered speakers and run into a small mixing board and gave my Bose system away. My studio is much more elaborate right now but those speakers and $100 mixing board are the basics for awesome sound.

Thanks M. MasonI have had 2 of these radios. The first one was good in reception, on am., but the off on switch went bad.and the tuner also broke. The second one is not very good on am or fm, I wasted my money on it. Thanks

I tried it out today...FM radio sounds great. The player even has an "auto scan" option similar to seek in a car radio - it will automatically pick up all the stations that have good reception/audio quality and put them all in presets. This way you don't have to go through every decimal number (98.4, 98.5, 98.6,etc) looking for stations.

I see the entry below and wonder why. So far I've had an excellent experience with my unit. I bought it all and didn't really need the FM booster. Still, puts out sound like a full sized unit, in my humble opinion. Would I do it again? So far, you betcha'!!

Not very well. The reception is horrible. You get very few stations on any of the bands its on. Very very bad reception. And even worse sound quality.

Sorry but this radio sucks real bad and I would not take this radio for Free if they gave it to me.I purchased a Yaesu FT 8800 instead.
