Could I use this unit to listen to FM broadcasting radio ?

No it doesn't. And for good reason. Why anybody'd want to waste time listening to broadcast radio in the first place is open for debate, especially with so many other frequencies to explore.

Unfortunately, no. The Yaesu FT-60's VFO won't go low enough to go into the FM Broadcasting band. Broadcast FM is also Wideband FM for better audio quality (200kHz channel spacing) which is considerably wider than the standard 20-25kHz spacing of the Ham bands and the recently implemented 12.5kHz spacing of Business Band.

That's a good question. Unfortunately, in a word, the answer is no. Commercial FM broadcasting in the U.S. is on frequencies from 90MHz to 108MHz. Yaesu's FT-60 is an entry level transceiver and is built to a price. Although robust, it is limited in features. Yaesu has chosen to not include those frequencies in the FT-60, which receives FM frequencies beginning at 108MHz. This is because they want you to spend more money to get more features. If you want more coverage, you've got to move up to the Yaesu VX-3r, which costs more. Bottom line is if you want more features, you pay more.

FM radio circuit is built in to this radio but it won't receive shortwave radio. You'd need a different type of radio for that.

I would imagine you'd have to use a different FM station for each device. you can configure the devices so they don't conflict. I have used both devices but not together.

Yes you can, but it is not the best quality as I expected. There is the same background noise as in a FM wirless transmitter.

Definitely not, one of the shortcomings of this player if you want to tune in weak radio signals.You have to let it autoscan before you can use the radio function at all.

If your radio already has speakers and fm you should be able to just set the fm tuner to a clear channel and play it they work even better if theres an auxillary port to plug in a cable. but if it has fm and speakets it will work.

I have a similar need. I use it to listen to TV sound with headphones at night in bed when my wife is asleep. I used to use a Radio with TV audio band. Now with digital law, that stopped working, and I have not yet been able to find a digital version of the TV radio.

Yes,you should have no problem doing that. Under " My local stations" You will have access to most FM and AM local radio stations thru the internet. But you will also have the option to search FM stations broadcasted "over the air".

One way I think that you can use FM transmiier. Connect it to your GPS and listen direction/Mp3 on FM!!

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

The answer to both your questions is most likely YES, assuming your radios are capable of FM reception.

Yes you can as long as the radio station (a blank one) is in position. Great sound.

It can use the radio, but since I live near town the interference is horrible. The unit has it's own speakers. However, if you are driving and you don't want hear the video they are watching. I suggest you buy the cordless headsets, then they can watch and you can have your radio for whatever you want to listen to.

I don't know for sure, but I doubt it. The device must be set to an FM frequency, so I'd guess no.

I can't answer definitively, as I've never tried it, but if your bluetooth device is capable of receiving and transmitting FM programming, I don't see any reason why it wouldn't.

Yes you can. But if you are in a very loud area it's hard to hear your radio.

There are audio outputs, but I think those are low level so you would have to pass it through an amp or to an input on your stereo. It also has FM modulation.
