Can I use this as an AM antenna?

This type of antenna is for FM reception only....look for an antenna specifically for AM reception.

It would probably work OK if the AM signals you want to receive are pretty strong and you don't have any electrical gadgets nearby that could interfere with AM signals (like some motors, fans, fluorescent lights, or nearby high voltage lines.) If you're not sure, it would probably be wise to go ahead and invest an extra $5 or so for a proper AM antenna. Just search Amazon for "AM Antenna" or something like that.

Although I have used this as an FM antenna, I feel it could also be used as an AM antenna. Imagine a "T-shaped" configuration of antenna wire that attaches to your receiver and stretches out across the wall, up and behind your receiver in order to assist in pulling in the signal.

I would have to say no, actually. The reception on these just isn't very good. You will be able to receive the closest/strongest AM stations, but that is all.

This model appears to only have FM stations for radio, no AM.Hope that helps.

I haven't tried for any AM Stations - but - I do get some FM Stations of my choice! It helps IF you know the Call Letters of the Station you are seeking!

If the radio has a SMA antenna connection it will adapt it to a standard PL-259 antenna connection so you can hook up am standard antenna cable to it.

Well - this antenna won't help you at all. For AM reception a "long wire" style antenna is preferred. Simply try and string up as long as piece of wire as you can with the wire parallel to the station you want to pick up. Generally 20-30 feet of speaker type wire "unzipped" to make a single strand...buy 15 feet of wire, unzip it, twist the wires together in the middle and you have a 30' piece. Hook one end to the AM antenna jack on your receiver and try to get the remaining wire up as high and as straight as you can. But don't go nuts...I've run the wire out a window and along the eaves just under the house and its worked great. And you can't beat the price!Good luck! Well - this antenna won't help you at all.

Yes, this antenna can be used for FM. It is directional so needs to be pointed toward the FM station towers you want to receive.

I don't believe so. This unit is for over the air signals while pointing the antenna in a RV for the strongest signal.

Could be used, but not an optimum choice. This is for satellite TV, not broadcast RF.

Do not know, but if you have a plug port for external / additional antenna I would try it. Where we use this antenna there is not much reception of anything but don't need much to pull in many radio stations.

Yes and it comes with a thin wire for the FM antenna. It does not come with an AM antenna.

You can use an antenna but this is not for digital over-the-air tv. This product is obselete in the USA.

I'm not sure but I don't think so. I believe the antenna is only a receiver.

Not sure...my husband uses it entirely for shortwave radio reception, which is very good. I would assume since that reception is coming from greater distances than FM/AM stations that it would enhance their reception, but can't answer for sure.

No, in that there is no onboard AM/FM tuner to collect the signal from over the air. Yes, in that you may find the local station's available internet simulcast...or use the Grace 1/8 aux input to patchcord a standard AM/FM radio headphone output to the Grace chassis (to upgrade the sound speaker quality, I'd suppose).

The AM antenna is internal. There is a jack for an external FM antenna. A small external FM antenna may have come with it; I don't recall. If there was, I tossed it because I didn't need it to get local FM stations.

Yes. Just use the switch provided in the installation kit to bypass the unit temporarily. AM stations seem to come through with the switch in either position.
