how does it work in in proving AM reception?

Arlene, we've had very good results, in fact we have two, one downstairs in the living room with our main sound system/hdtv and one upstairs in our bedroom as same. No complaints here, and they have stayed on ever since we got them. As long as you can zero in on the station and the signal is moderate, it has been crystal clear reception. Hope that helps!

Work OK but have to be close to the window facing out, probably to catch the reception ?

It's tough to recommend this radio for am? I've had trouble with am signals. I don't use am on this radio. I think it depends on where you place the radio. There are a lot of buttons on this radio and it takes some time to get used to. If you are operating in the dark I think that you might at times hit the wrong button. Overall I do like it.

This antenna will work with any FM radio. Bear in mind, it probably won't help the AM reception.

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.

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.

Hi yes it will the only diff is the price an it does not have the am setting. Now let me be clear to you. You might not get anything at first and make sure you record your sessions because then you can go back and listen to what you didn't hear in real time. Also say a quick pray so you don't come in contact with anything negative. Hopefully this will help you with your purchase

Yes, it just amplifies the signal coming in through the coax. It does not change it.

Michael, I mostly listen to FM. I have the radio under a florescent light and the AM has a backround hum for me. I would ask someone who primarily listens to AM about it. I love the FM. Reception clear with many stations. I use it every day.

It is measured in meter-bands . Mine has 60m, 49m, 41m, 31m, 25m, 21m, 19m, 16m, 15m, 11m . The reception condition changes depending on your location and also time of day and night.

Does nothing for AM reception (most radios have a built in ferrite bar antenna for AM). It does improve weather radio frequency reception and FM reception depending on placement of the antenna.

It really depends on how much metal the building has. Metal may ask like an antenna and grab the signal before it gets inside the building and take it to ground. If the inside walls have metal 4x2's that is also metal the knocks down the signal. If you have old fluorescent lights and the transformers are in metal FM should work OK and AM in most cases should work. If you have updated fluorescent drivers and even some LED drivers you may have issues with AM. AM may not work well near many machines including a computer. This is why you have problems in large offices it is not how the radio works. Most homes are made with wood, stone and bricks. Radio goes right through these and there is not a good path to ground. It goes bet through wood and the thin wires inside the walls are not enough to grab most of the signals to ground. FM has more energy (higher frequency) and it much less to get noise. It does not like bouncing off other buildings when you get the same signal at two slightly different times. If you can, listen to Radio on line - they may not like you doing this.

My understanding is that the antenna is designed specifically to capture broadcasts within the FM band. I have not noticed any improvement (nor increase) in the number of AM stations I receive with this antenna. I believe the indoor-type antennas are more ligned with the AM band. I hope that helps.

I have one that I cannot use. It is terrible the 2 page instruction book is not much help. In short, after hours of trying to get it to work it has been passed to a friends kids who might just use the radio. The AM channels are found on a MT band, meaning Mountain which makes no sense. I was not able to get any radio recordings done. So sorry, but I do not have much good to say other than it was a total waste of money. Should have taken time to return it but got busy.

yes, you have to use the black auxiliary antenna for both the FM and the AM - it really helps with the reception

No problem with my radio. Pulling in FM stations loud and clear from over 100 miles away using the internal antenna. AM reception is rather weak so I've added an external antenna to get better AM reception

It definitley has FM and AM antenna connections. Double check this by downloading their full manual and then blow up the size of the rear panel on your screen.

The radio dial goes to 1710. The specs on Kaito's website say 1710. Most radios built for sale in North American since 1993 have been capable of receiving the extended AM band. There are no AM stations in the extended band where I live. Depending on the weather sometimes at night there are out of town stations that can be heard. I will try to remember to check and will update the post. I would go with what appears on Kaito's website or send an email to Kaito and ask them. It is evening here. I am listening to a station on 1660 AM. No question about it. This radio does indeed receive stations up to 1710.
