Don't Know the model but I don't think they are making these anymore with AM/FM. Haven't used it at all, yet!@

This Radio is FM only. The HD postion does not have a strong tuner so weak stations are not heard.

I could get no AM reception from this devise. It helped the FM reception only.

This radio has good analog FM reception compared to most inexpensive radios. The HD portion of the signal is always weaker than the regular portion. Do not expect HD reception if regular reception is weak. In a location where a cheap radio has poor reception, this radio will have noticeably better reception but will not receive HD. http://www.element14.com/community/groups/wireless/blog/2013/07/26/testing-hd-radio

You ever noticed that in all have opinions for and against. The G3 portable radio receiver fulfills its task of being a quality equipment with Gruding brand. Particularly I think a great radio to listen to shortwave, AM, FM, SSB and aircraft band. In aircraft band there are certainly some interference of commercial FM stations, easily solved leaving only two or three antenna stages stretched.

I don't notice any on mine. It does a good job of locking onto stations, especially weaker ones I could not get before. Rotate the AM bar antenna for clarity and run the wire antenna close to a window for good FM/SW reception. Very, very clear. I listen with Sony buds at low volume often. Of course, a more elaborate antenna setup willenhance S/W abilities. But the DSP chips used do live up to their claims on this gem.

Don't really know for sure, seldom use it, but when axdently hit FM it seems loud and clear, but AM is spotty and reception is about a C +.

SW radio broadcasts over very long distances - much longer than AM or FM. In case of an emergency in your area where all local radio stations were off the air, you would still be able to pick up SW signals, and thus news reports, from stations far far away (even other countries)

Don't buy this one. Am radio is useless as fires not scan properly. FM is OK but much cheaper and better radios available...

The one good thing about this radio, is its reception. I live just outside a metropolitan area and have had no problems AM or FM.

that depends of course on the power of the radio station. Simply put, at this time: of all portable receivers that i have played with (and i have owned too many) this is the most sensitive for FM. For AM: It is not in the same league as the PL-310ET (the ferrite rod is too short).For SW: distance is not the issue, but time of day and sun activity -but it is quite good.In worst case, Amazon is very generous in understanding that this was returned because it did not meet your requirements

The M8 is a AM and FM radio, the S8 receives AM, FM and SW ( SHORTWAVE bands) Both radios will do MP3

Reception is great for me. AM stations will break up after sundown here in Philly, but that happens with nearly every stationary radio. FM is consistently strong - never had a proble

Yes! FM comes in terrific and the extendible antenna gives added clarity/reception quality...you do not need headphones/earbuds to listen to AM or FM on this radio; the sound output for both bands is very clear and signal pick-up strength great.
