It sure does. I listen to music stations from Poland, S. Korea, Russia, UK, etc... They used to have a quick station search feature right here on the Amazon product description but I don't see it any more. You can get an idea of what stations it can stream by creating a free www.MySqueezeBox.com account, then click on Remote Control &gt; Internet Radio &gt; Search (or select select World and browse that way). This will not play on your computer as this is meant to Remote Control via the web UI your actual player, but will help you see what is out there.

Yes, you can get talk radio. iheart radio is the best source. You can get local, national and international talk radio stations. On the Mondo radio (the one I have), you can put up to ten stations on favorites for immediate access. I have a local talk radio station (Phoenix), NPR Talk and MSNBC on my favorites. You have to look around to find what you want but that's the fun of it. A well explained manual comes with the radio.

Yes local only. We live 30 miles from 4 stations and we receive 2 of them. I have three of these radios and really like them all. Good reception on both AM and FM also.

No, not this radio. you need a mode 1 radio for that or a radio that allows such programming.

You have to set it to international mode first. There are instructions in the reviews somewhere or I think you can google it. The mode is hidden, but it's there. Most US stations don't go down that far, so it should be fairly clear most anywhere in the US.

The feature you are mentioning for mayday and location is not something I am aware of. I did not know that this radio had such a feature. Did I miss something?

The stations available are listed on their website. http://connect.pure.com/p#!/us

I don't think so. I had to add some stations manually. it is easy to add satellites or channels. look up the frequency and add it manually

As far as I know the station has to be on that Frontier list. I found one outside of that list that I liked and requested that it be added and it was. It took a couple of weeks. And yes, there are others I'd like to be able to listen to on the DDR-63 instead of on my computer. I'd love an option where you can just enter the URL and it will save it as a station. If that option already exists I haven't found it.

No, but that's a good thing. Compared to the variety and number of quality radio stations on the net-Sirius is CRAP. I tried it for 6 months-the same song 3 days in a row-it was worse than AM. Spend some time-there are fantastic net stations in every genre. Trust me, Sirius is at the bottom of the barrel.

You are liekly to have an issue with the tuner, too. It may not pick up foreign stations. Check with your intended location.

my guess is no, it won't work b brazil. frequency assignments for broadcast are likely different.

Can anyone suggest any stations in foreign countries that are similar to US stations?

This radio is one of the best SW portable radios. So if there still is a BBC SW world service directed towards the Mediterranean, you will be able to receive it. Best if you go on-line, and check if the BBC has not cut yet that service. It used to be in the 49m band. Three addtl. comments: 1) This is not the best FM radio, very dificult to tune in to a known frequency. I say that because if you go to Greece, expect "touristy" FM broadcasts in the morning in English. 2) There are much cheaper and better radios for local FM. The TECSUN PL-310et comes to mind. 3) This is a really good radio for AM! I expect that in Greece at night you should be able to listen to a few AM radio stations in English.

It's Internet Radio and not a am/fm radio. Getting am / fm stations off the internet has better reception then from the air.

yes,there are many FM stations in Spain and Europe you can listen to on this unit!

In my opinion, as with any sw radio, your chances of getting music from other countries will be greatly enhanced with the use of an external antenna. There are numerous web sites which are helpful in selecting the best outside antenna to use.
