hi is there any limitations on tuneable stations? example, the last radio i bought, can only tune to odd numbered stations such as 98.7, 95.1, 101.3 . can it tune to even numbered stations such as 98.0, 97.6, 96.8 fm

ALL FM stations in the US are on odd multiples of 0.1 MHz. For example, 88.1, 88.3, 88.5, .... 107.9. So a receiver made to work with the US system (such as this one) should not get the even multiples (88.2, 88.4, etc.). Your radio is working exactly as it should.

No. This radio, whether tuned by dial or direct entry, can tune only to 29999 kHz, which is the top of the HF bands. Both services that you mentioned are in the VHF portion of the radio spectrum.

On previous models I had you could change the preset stations. But with the new one you can only use the 8 Preset stations. If you have the model with a choice of 3 Stations you select a new station by Holding down the M Button, use the + or - Button to select a Station that is suitable, and then Press either 1, 2 or 3. Hope that helps, Barry.

As others have said, they are difficult to tune in. I tried it just once or so & it was impossible(daytime, middle of the city). I bought it for the standard am/fm stereo & that works great, but for buyers shopping for the shortwave(international) radios, I'd really recommend digital tuning type with digital display. Analog dial with the needle indicator & tiny numbers seem to add even more to the challenge.

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.

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.

Tuning is not scratchy. It is hard to select stations accurately, even close stations are tough to tune in.

We try to pick different colors for the same order, but you are not able to choose them through the web. The radio is the 2.4 gHz system, so there are no "frequencies" to worry about anymore (Yay!)

Hi fellas! Quick question, is this a radio that a newbie would be able to learn to use, perhaps with a modest amount of instruction?If it is, Ed, would you like to sell yours? Thanks!

Hi Craig, no it does not have Tunein. Tunein is a station aggregator just like our Reciva based 50,000 station database. If we don't have the station currently in our database we can easily add it but chances we already have every station that Tunein has. What stations do you listen to via Tunein that you want to make sure are on our radio?

Hi M., yes you can do presets on your favorite FM stations. -VincentHi M., yes you can do presets on your favorite FM stations. -Vincent

NO AM/FM tuner, however, with the network capabilities you would be able to stream any radio station you wish. It will be a much better signal as well as giving you more options.

How easy to change stations? Easy. With only two knobs volume and tune plus an am/fm switch you can reach all three with the headset on. Thus you listen for the stations as it locks on the next one instead of taking the headset off to look at the dial or find tiny buttons. It is a good receiver circuit and as simple as you can get to tune. I put some pen marks on the knob locations of my favorite stations so I could pre tune it before putting it on and just "listen tuned" from there. My last brand faded when I turned my head this one does not - that is the most importtant thing not tuning since you probably will stay on your favorite station anyway. How easy to change stations?

Both could be right. The radio has a good sound, but its hard to tune to the stations. I live in the country. In a bigger city with more stations to select from, it may be easier to tune in a station. My is in my garage and I never change channels.

Good question. I know the CB portion will work. It is one of the best I have ever had and very easy to tune, but as far as the AM and FM bands, I don't know. I am pretty sure you have two coax cables coming out of your radio. One for the standard radio and one for the CB. I probably did not help you.

Yep. The tuner in this is so good, there are even hacks to enable the analog FM exclusively. Audiokarma is a good place to read about the tuner.

There are only three stations. One at 88.1, one somewhere towards 97 and, one at 107.9. Depending on the area you are in and the number of radio stations around, one of the three usually works without disruption.
