Do the stations drift at all? I had a smaller new model radio from this brand and I would have to retune in whatever station that I was listen to

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.

Yes all of the stations drift, dramatically and I have tried multiple locations throughout the house. If a station holds for more then 15 minutes I'm surprised.

To be honest, I don't know. Mine stays on the same station for the most part. Do not have much need to change, unless going out of town. I use this product pretty much every day and have no issues with having to switch between different stations.

You should not have this problem. Each radio binds to each model with a unique code to avoid this very problem. Are you experiencing some kind of interference between two radios/models? If so, try re-doing the "bind" process on one or both radio/model pairs.

Yes, I'm happy with it, but I only listen to one FM station. Sometimes it depends on where you position your player. If it does not work in one part of the house, try changing location. Or try moving the antenna in different directions.

Don't know. Never thought of it. However tuning on to a station is not "clean". Sometimes you have to go beyond then go back to get a precise tuning.

Yes. I believe it depends on the track data provided in a particular format. Usually older tracks don't show and only scrolls the radio station i.d. cd, flash drives etc does the same. Hope this helps. Great unit for the money!

Mine did the same thing. I sent it back to be exchanged. I thought that the radio was defective.

not really, however that is a problem with digital tuners, the same thing can happen with fm, you are most likely at the fringe point of that 1100 station. Good luck.

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!

It has to be tuned to a blank station. One that has nothing but static. My problem with it is it seems to overheat after a short time and quits working. I would not suggest purchasing it.

Hi Kristen, it doesn't automatically change the radio station. In all reality, I wouldn't recommend this product though. When it did work, it worked well, but it stopped working after a measly 2 weeks of use. Just shut off and that was that. I didn't get another one so I only have experience from using one product, but that's my two cents.

I would try deleting the FM presets that are currently stored. Select 88 to 108 and then try the auto tune again. The FM stations should generally not need to be retuned manually to get better reception.

From my experience, tuning in shortwave mode is very very sensitive. A slight twitch and you're in/out of focus. I was only able to find a handful of stations. About 3 Spanish ones (either Spain or South America), 1 from Australia, and couple around US (mostly religious stations). I'm based in Colorado, US.

They picked up radio stations just fine and for the brief period that I had them on,t hey sounded pretty good. What I didn't like about them was that they don't 'remember' frequencies. They seemed rather cheaply made to me. So the old adage holds: You get what you pay for. I sent mine back for a refund.

No it does not lose stations if you change batteries. Also I might mention, you are able to preset 9 AM and also 9 FM stations. The instructions are a little vague on this. Been using my set for a couple of months. Very happy with this headset. You won't be disappointed if you decide to buy this set. Walt.

I don't know. I use this radio like any other and change stations according to what I want to listen to. No expert on this so hope my answer helps.

Your radio needs to be tuned to a station that carries the imbedded data. I lost power one time and the radio lost time and date. The radio updated over night. Provided you are tuned to the correct station it should return.
