Has anyone had problems with the FM tuning? My AM works fine but FM is very -incredibly scratchy &amp; stations fade. Others had this problem?

Yes. Factory Tech. told me to turn the radio on. Turn down the volume. Then rotate tuning knob from stop to stop for about 3 to 5 minutes. If that doesn't work. The radio needed to be sent into the factory for repair.

I never turn on FM radio. I sent one mp3 to my friend. I only download some songs from Chinese website.I even don't know there is FM radio with the mp3.

Since I've only listened to FM,I had not listened to any AM stations, but tried a bit since you inquired. I was able to pull in AM stations, but I'm not well versed on AM stations in my area my test wasn't very satisfactory. I did bring in some and they were ok. Hope someone else can respond to this issue better than I've been able to. I do really really like my Sangean PR-D9W radio. I compared and conducted quite a lengthy research marathon before purchasing. Good luck!

Don't get the Senta, virtually no FM reception even from stations within 50 miles. Sorry to disappoint, if you find a Bluetooth that does get good FM please let me know!!! steviegolfballs@icloud.com

Hello Rhonda...unfortunately it does not have am/fm radio unless you download an app to get it. Hopes this helps.

I have had the same problem as mentioned by others. I bought it in 2013 and have struggled to tune in local FM stations, even with several different antennas. Nothing seems to work. Any additional suggestions?

That's the only thing I don't like about it. There is no switch. You put it on AM ( because there's less stations on AM) and you dial it in between stations so it's not picking up radio. Then you can't turn it up to high or else you get the static from AM. Just turn up the AU device and it's fine. If you move around a lot you might have to adjust AM again to get off an AM station if you pick one up as you move around. Buy them there really good for the money. And I'm cheap!

Check your manual. There is a setting for the tuning steps to be set. In some parts of the world the AM Broadcast band steps are 10 KHZ apart and other areas are 9 Khz. If you arein the USA it should be set for 10 Khz. There is also a filter setting that you might want to widen for better sounding AM. Does this help?

FM reception depends on tower locations in a rural area. My husband says AM talk radio holds a better reception from building to building compared to FM reception. But in the open fields reception for both is about the same depending on radio towers in your area. I've been purchasing 2 sony walkmans a year for my husband these past 15 Christmases and he uses the radio everyday (10- 12 hrs daily) 7 days a week 365 days a year. It takes a licking & keeps on sounding Awesome! Enjoy!

Yes. It does have Am Fm. The problem with mine is that the LCD display stopped working so you can't see what input is set. And you can't see if it is set to Fm or Am.

We have had no problem with either AM or FM reception and listen to the radio as often as the CD player. We do live in a rural area on top of a hill, but the nearest station is about 17 miles away, and we have no problems receiving it.

I am amazed by the quality of the FM reception...when I can get it. Unfortunately where I work (which is why I got the item in the first place), I get only very few stations due to interference by building/steel, etc. I've not tried the record feature.

Yes it's a great AM/FM radio but make sure you use an antenna. Hope this helps :)

mine was working since I upgraded to windows 8 late last year, but for some reason last night I could not get the device to work ( as I have had it for some years ). I will give it a try again but I am hoping it has not malfunctioned. Besides, I could never get one radio station to tune properly (94.7 FM WLS in Chicago). It tunes but the sound is scratchy and it goes in and out just that one radio station. Just go to the hauppauge.com website for the latest drivers and software. Good luck, I am hoping mine works as now I took it off-line and giving it a rest. There are other issues with another tuner that works well for the Mac but under Windows 8 there are some issues with the FM tuning (somehow Windows Media Center cannot switch well between digital back to analog) but that is another story.

Sorry, but I never use AM. But I can tell you that the FM works significantly better than any of my previous alarm clocks.Cheers.

The one I have has both AM and FM. To be honest I would recommend that you buy one with multiple bands. If you are using it as a 'spirit box' you'll be surprised at how much you can save an otherwise low-production session by switching bands. If we aren't getting a lot on the FM, I switch to AM and often get multiple-word and multi-syllabic replies.
