How's the recording quality on AM and FM?

The recording quality is very good so long as the antenna is extended and the reception is good. When you record, the volume goes all the way up if you are using the speaker you will notice it. The cool thing is that you can then transfer the recordings to your pc and share them with other devices. By far the best portable radio I found in this price range, the features are very good for such a compact unit.

Absolutely good quality recording. Primarily use for recording lectures over the FM frequencies for language studies.

I don't use AM, only FM and the reception is excellent. I use it on my desk at my house, that is on the 5th floor.

I like this product a lot, and I have had previous similar ones but not as good. I have never used auxiliary input and am surprised to hear it would take anything more than simply pulling the plug and toggling between AM and FM.

According to my husband, FM reception is fine. Other than just to try it out, we haven't really used it.

I have had no problems receiving all my local am fm radio stations. Can not beat this radio for the price.

Since I've only listened to FM,I had not listened to any AM stations, but tried a bit since you inquired. I was able to pull in AM stations, but I'm not well versed on AM stations in my area my test wasn't very satisfactory. I did bring in some and they were ok. Hope someone else can respond to this issue better than I've been able to. I do really really like my Sangean PR-D9W radio. I compared and conducted quite a lengthy research marathon before purchasing. Good luck!

Yes it's a great AM/FM radio but make sure you use an antenna. Hope this helps :)

No drift on FM. I am in a strong FM signal area on crest of a ridge. AM station coverage in my area is very weak.

Agreed - this is by far the most selective and sensitive analog FM tuner I have ever seen. I have two and disabled the HD switch on one of them, and I think it's actually quite a bit better sound. The digital signal is noise-free, but so is FM for the most part, and the full analog signal is much more accurate than the compressed, relatively-low-bit-rate HD radio signal.

Its good. There is no real audio loss. Since they don't make blank tapes anymore, I got myself one to burn all my songs on a cd.

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.

I have some hi tension lines near my house and have no interference on the AM band. The local lines are underground, so I'm not sure about interference. I can test them down the street tomorrow.

Not on the version I have. If they have updated it, maybe, but I really don't know. My version plays AM/FM radio (no preset buttons, just a knob to roll to your station). and a CD payer, that has a pretty good sound, for it's price.

The one I have has both AM and FM. To be honest I would recommend that you buy one with multiple bands. If you are using it as a 'spirit box' you'll be surprised at how much you can save an otherwise low-production session by switching bands. If we aren't getting a lot on the FM, I switch to AM and often get multiple-word and multi-syllabic replies.

Yes. Am/fm are available. Depending you area HD AM radio too. You'll find more HD FM. Very good stereo.
