How is the AM reception? One reviewer said it was poor.

my AM reception is fine my only problem is that one of the ear piece did not work so I had to use a different set that I had.

It is just fine. I gave a bad review about rapid battery consumption but later found out that a second set I have is just fine in every way. The other one must have been a mfg. error on just that set. I love the one I now have.

I agree, it was poor. It was poor just before the radio conked out. I threw it away yesterday. If you haven't bought it yet, don't bother.

Don't really know for sure, seldom use it, but when axdently hit FM it seems loud and clear, but AM is spotty and reception is about a C +.

Short wave works ok. Just receives am no ssb. But it is pretty amazing how well it picks up the stations. It really picks up am local broadcast here in the us very good, for its size and cost. I really like mine

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.

Hi Susan,I have enjoyed mine now for three years. The reception is affected by the weather I have noticed. Usually what I do is put it in the cradle over night and have it record the programming I like. That way when I go to the gym in the mornings I have several hours of music available to me. The signal inside the gym is intermittent and it is affected by the structure of the building. So if you don't mind this it will be an awesome portable satellite radio I absolutely love mine.

I don't recommend it because it doesn't get all that great reception. not with it.

The reception is great for me. My office is in the middle of a concrete building with large HVAC equipment on the roof above me and I have no trouble picking up my local public radio station. I just adjust the antenna every now then if things get wonky.

First of all, i did not buy this radio for, primarily, AM or FM receptions but for SW receptions. For SW receptions, the radio is excellent. Second, I have used AM reception in various European countries such as Greece and Italy and in all cases the receptions were very good. I could also get stations from neighboring countries rather well. So, I could guess that you would e OK with this radio for AM reception in hard-to-get-stations areas.

Yes. Mine is incredibly finicky. The FM is so sensitive that it takes me a few min to tune stations. The AM is rock solid. I do think it needs to be fixed though, it shouldn't be that hard to tune in a station like the one I'm trying to get. I have a Sangean digital radio and it gets everything just fine.

Well, it's a cool looking antenna, but with most people mentioning weak reception I'm having second thoughts. Although I mostly listen to Sirius...I have a 2014 JK...any comments?

I thought the reception was pretty good with rabbit ears (in the city), though some shifting and orienting may be necessary for particular channels. No A/D (analogue to digital, I assume) converter was needed, and so never tested.

Yes, however the radio reception is not that great. Could be where I live, though.

The radio works on all bands. But the receive is not very good, the quality of the radio is good. They just need to get the receive improved.

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

Not for me. I get only 2 AM statics and those have a lot of static. I get 41 FM stations so I am satisifed. Of all the radios I have experience with few receive AM well.

I found the FM reception to be above average and, that is with a cell tower close by. I did get my radio fixed within 10 working days and was given free shipping...so very good customer service.
