How's the AM reception?

Not very good, it depends on where you are. It is clear when you are in range

It is just fine. I have mine set up that way and I the reception is always good.

I love my model which has a top button for AM that works well. But reception depends on your area. If it is poor you might want to purchase a "booster antenna" that fits into the bottom right input jack on the back on the unit if the standard antenna doesn't work. You can purchase the standard antennae from Bose or Amazon. Hope this helps.

My FM reception is good even though my unit is in the basement. I've never had any trouble with reception.

For the most part reception for me has been fine. Sometimes when near a deadzone in my valley it will get fuzzy, but upon my mountain I have good reception.

I live in a remote rural area, so your results may vary. The FM section is above average for a radio this size. It will likely pick up as many stations as your average AM/FM stereo receiver. Regarding AM, my area receives only one AM station in the daytime. At night, it appears that this radio will pick up as many stations as any other, although stations close together may be hard to separate. In a city environment, this radio should tune either AM or FM satisfactorily.

I listen to FM nearly weekly and plays very well. Also has the weather band so if bad weather in the area you can get the most recent weather updates. The radio is very easy to operate and the directions to set the clock and preset your favorite stations is easy to figure out.

I'm curious, did you end up buying the antenna and setting it up? I live in central MA and because of the snow havent set this up yet, I was curious how your reception is.

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

I plugged my receiver into a cable jack after installing this on the roof and I got amazing reception of FM radio. Don't know about AM. An antenna doesn't discriminate the signals being received, for the most part.

I can't help on this one. I have not had occasion to try to tune in to TV. But, it's great with AM and FM.

Yes. I get all the local FM radio stations. Some are stronger than others but the FM on this unit is decent. No AM though.

Reception is excellent, I get 3.1, 3.2 (movie channel), 5.1, and 5.2 (weather). About 65-70 miles North from Phoenix. I also use a signal booster.

So far, I've only used the radio (primarily AM) on the unit and I've found it to be satisfactory.

I have it in my house on the 5th floor. I don't use the AM, only FM and it's excellent. Hope I can help you.

It's good. Not especially great, but definitely good. It comes with a 4-5 foot FM antenna cable (and similar AM antenna) and what appears to be a standard connection port, so you could possibly attach a 3rd-party antenna.

Yes, I look at the time every morning while listening to the local news. I have found the weather bands to be iffy, though (not that I use them much).
