I've gotten excellent reception with FM; I live in a rural area which makes reception problematic with some radios, but I haven't had any problems.

I listen to AM talk radio so its not to bad with AM. But when listening to FM music you will loose a lot of stereo quality. I do anyway here in Lou,Ky. We are not on flat ground around here. I put my factory antenna back on. I personally don't recommend it.

The FM band has a Frequency Range of 87.5-108 MHzThe AM band has a Frequency Range of 520-1710 kHz or 530-1620kHz

No, this is not true..I have used the Samsung unit for a few days now (Christmas gift) and do get FM reception in stereo (I am in London, England). However I do find the overall fm reception to be poor and much worse then my three year old Creative Zen mp3 player.

So far, my reception has been pretty good. There are times that it is a problem from more distant stations, but for the stations I listen to, the reception has been very good.

I have not tried to see what reception is like. I bought the product to use with USB media and with that it works great. I can give it a try and see.

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

I had to send both units I received back as the FM reception was defective. Please try another brand. John

I am amazed by the quality of the FM reception...when I can get it. Unfortunately where I work (which is why I got the item in the first place), I get only very few stations due to interference by building/steel, etc. I've not tried the record feature.

For the cost and the size of the unit the FM reception is really good. The only problem is that there is no antenna so you have to use the headphones that come with the unit to get the best reception. I work in a rural part outside of Atlanta and I work in a metal booth that is totally inclosed. I have had reception issues with other headsets and this is by far the best. Hope that helps

Absolutely, the sound isn't half bad. My only 'complaint ' is you cannot see what station you are tuning to.

Yes. I get all the local FM radio stations. Some are stronger than others but the FM on this unit is decent. No AM though.

FM 88.1 on the low end, I believe it is 107.9 on the high end. I flip back and forth between 88.1 and 88.3 depending on where I'm driving. One of the two almost always get a good, clear signal. I've been impressed for the price.

This radio works well for AM and FM reception. I live in the country, and often tinker in a metal outbuilding where I have an old stereo receiver (the kind with large remote speakers and lots on inputs like you would have in a living room) from the 90's with a digital tuner using a wire inside the building for an antenna. That system will often loose reception when all doors are closed. This little radio works better on both AM and FM even though I don't bother to extend the antenna.

FM reception is fine. We live in an area with a lot of radio stations and sometimes you run into one station stepping on another's signal, but that's not a function of the radio. The stations we have programmed in come in perfectly clear. In my opinion you can't beat the sound or quality of this radio for the money.
