How is the FM reception?

FM reception is not too good where I live---but then, we cannot get ANY TV broadcast here and the stereo in the house gets only static. When we drive to the big city, however, the reception is quite good! Guess a lot depends on one's signal strength, eh?!

I've gotten excellent reception with FM; I live in a rural area which makes reception problematic with some radios, but I haven't had any problems.

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

The reception is awesome........I Luv the look & style of the radio, the reception is good on both FM & AM stations. I would recommend other in buying this brand

Not very well. The reception is horrible. You get very few stations on any of the bands its on. Very very bad reception. And even worse sound quality.

No. Our FM generally works fine in our area...the radio on the Bose comes in good. Excellent sound.

No, this is not true..I have used the Samsung unit for a few days now (Christmas gift) and do get FM reception in stereo (I am in London, England). However I do find the overall fm reception to be poor and much worse then my three year old Creative Zen mp3 player.

that depends of course on the power of the radio station. Simply put, at this time: of all portable receivers that i have played with (and i have owned too many) this is the most sensitive for FM. For AM: It is not in the same league as the PL-310ET (the ferrite rod is too short).For SW: distance is not the issue, but time of day and sun activity -but it is quite good.In worst case, Amazon is very generous in understanding that this was returned because it did not meet your requirements

Don't really know how good the AM frequency is but the FM is great, you just have to use an antenna :)

I didnt add an FM antenna. I added a Terk Indoor AM antenna which improved the AM reception quite a bit. The FM reception is fine the way it is in this area.

It is FM only. I was aware of that when I bought it. However I was very disappointed the radio as it could not receive even strong local stations. Please see my review for the pros and cons of the unit. I did return it to the vendor.

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

Yes, it is. You tune it by turning the knobs and reception is good. It' not heavy.

Yes, it gets great FM reception. It has an FM wire antenna that can be moved around, and it also has a detachable AM antenna. It picks up more stations more clearly than my previous sony cd clock radio.

excellent FM reception. Thats why I bought it. I was getting stationed intermingled with my walkman but this one has been great with the FM. Very clear and channels not overlapping

I don't know. However, I can say the radio reception is terrible. FM was weak and AM was worse. I sold the unit on eBay. Sorry I couldn't help more.
