Yes, just like the UV-5R the BF-F8+ supports FM broadcast receiving. Please don't confuse this with FM broadcast transmitting... Neither this nor the UV-5R support FM broadcast TRANSMITTING... Manufacturer's website: http://baofengtech.com/bf-f8+

It says it does but I have not figured out how to make it do it. The manual tells you what to do but it does but it doesn't seem to work. To be clear, picking up FM Broadcast is not a priority for me so I have not tried very hard to figure it out. The specs say it does and the manual is not very clear on how to make it happen.

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.

The orange button on the left side of the radio (top of the three buttons, only orange button) will access the FM broadcast band. Press it once quickly and the radio will go into FM radio mode. Holding the button activates the alarm function.

I'm sorry I can't answer your question as i have not figured it out myself.i can't even get the FM radio to work or pick up any channels.

The device uses FM channels which do not have a "station" attached to it. So with that in mind it is only limited by the open air channels available in your market.

No It has the option of using its built in FM transmitter to broadcast to your chosen radio frequency.

I don't think you can. There are two dials, one for stations and one for volume. I have a new dixie chopper lawn mower and I can't here the radio. A piece of junk

Frankly, I don't know. Mine got stolen a long time ago. I had not used FM before I lost it.

Hello, no problem, this device has two button for change frequency from 87.5 to 108.0 MHz. only you have to find a "no used" frequency. its so easy!

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.

No built in FM radio. You can get a Note that accepts a SIM card which would give you access to the INTERNET allowing you to receive broadcasts over the web.

Get a programing cable and DL chirp. The frequencies can be programed in what amounts to a spread sheet and uploaded to the radio. Once you have this you can simply put in the number of the pre programed channel you wish to use. It is actually rather easy to do. You must be in the programed channel mode and not in the direct frequency entry mode. To switch between the two turn off the radio, hold down the menu button and turn on the radio holding the menu button until the radio boots.

The bands that I use are FM AM ( they include MW/ LW as far as I can tell) SW is also available, but I have not used it

So far I have only seen FM and I have not actually tried to access AM. Perhaps you should pose this query directly to the manufacturer

Strictly Analog FM, not digital. Information can be found at miklor dot com

Yes. It just plugs into the headphone jack and FM is FM... if the radio only gets Mono from it, it is still FM, just tune to the channel.

We use the FM radio a lot. You can get the local channels. They sound great through the sound system.

No just move your music etc to a USB or SD, plug in, and set your FM radio to Soundfly's frequency. Done
