It will cover the 88-108 Mhz Band, however it is optimized for the FCC Broadcast channels including the now obsolete lower VHF Channels.The needed FM Band Splitter would also result in a minimal attenuation of the TV Signals being passed thru to TVs.This thing works GREAT as it is designed.A separate independent FM Band Yagi would produce the best performance.

I have a HD AM/FM tuner with a coax connector daisy chained at the very end of feeds from my antennas. Yes, the HD8200U will provide FM reception. I'm going to avoid saying "good" and rather say "Improved" over 300 ohm flat wire type that comes with a lot of units in the box.I have since upgraded to D8Be antenna with even better UHF performance and improved non-directional ability. Hope this helps.

This antenna will -not- work very well at all for AM/FM... size is the key... Shorter antenna beams (the wires forming the "bow tie") indicate higher frequencies. This is a UHF antenna (around 470 to 800 MHz), whereas FM is between VHF channels 6 and 7 (88 to 110 MHz) and AM is on the order of a megaHertz (0.59 MHz to 1.6 MHz). This antenna's beams are about 1/6th the length you'd want for FM, and about 1/500th the length you'd want for AM. For FM you could try a cheap set of TV rabbit ears (or two 30-inch pieces of bare wire).

There is a jack for external antenna; I have to think it helps for AM broadcast (or longwave as you put it). The manual calls it specifically a jack for external FM/SW antenna so maybe not? Sorry if that wasn't much help....

No external FM antenna input, but the attached wire antenna works pretty well. BTW I see that others say it does have an external antenna input so I double checked my manual. All it says is to fully unwind the wire to improve reception and don't hook the wire to an outside antenna. Only inputs are 1 Coax for TV antenna or cable and an AM loop antenna input.

Where I live I use the vacant channel 88.7FM. I measured...from transmitter to pocket radio I got good reception from8 to 12 feet. Beyond that I got static. CCrane has a list of vacant FM channels for a person's area. Hope this helps.

Yes, it has an FM radio function. Works outdoors best. I suggest setting up station pre-sets first.

I just checked mine. I don't use it as radio at all, but It does have both AM and FM tuners. It also came with the antennas.

Yes, this antenna can be used for FM. It is directional so needs to be pointed toward the FM station towers you want to receive.

YesANY antenna is far, far better than no antenna at all. And this antenna is a cheapie but it woks well if you experiment with where you place it. Go online and research reviews of DM antennas to find one better than this. You will need a push-on Balun adapter provided your unit has such an output made to accept it, found here on Amazon, to connect it to your receiver or FM tuner.Good luck to you. Happy listening.

I have only used it for my TV and it works just fine, it has a control so you can check out the reception coming to the TV, and I feel it can be usedfor FM reception. hope this helps

Not sure on the FM but it pick up HD TV very well. I get 39 stations in my area.

Thank you for your inquiry. This product can play FM radio. Reception frequency is 76.0-108.0MHz. I hope that this answer is useful to you. Thank you all!

We listen to an FM station 35 miles away and it works great, but it is called an FM antenna. So I just don't know.

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

I use it primarily for over the air digital TV, but I am sure it would work for FM too....hope this helps....Frank.

Im not sure I understand the question but if you are asking about antenna feed its good to go. Just hook it up and look for your stations,

It comes with an antenna cord that plugs into the headphone jack and then you can switch on the radios speaker to listen. No FM radio will work to its full potential without an antenna. I love the radio. It has good reception (and I know the difference) and its got a nice layout so it's not hard to get used to. The weather band receives very well here on Cape Cod also.
