Not sure on the FM but it pick up HD TV very well. I get 39 stations in my area.

This is a mid-range antenna, not a long range. And, I'm in a reception "hole" since broadcast went digital. When broadcast was analog, I could receive Dayton channels, sixty plus miles away. I could not receive even the strongest station with this antenna; but I can receive the Public channel, Bowling Green , which is slightly further away in the opposite direction. I'm not familiar with the antenna to which you referred in your query. If it works well for you, let me know.

Well that depends if there are two connection terminals (positive & negative) for the antenna on the back of your system. If so, this antenna will vastly improve your FM reception. I have a 40 year old Pioneer SX-636 AM/FM receiver and live in the countryside. After adding this antenna to my system it now picks up numerous FM stations that I could not tune in before. I am quite elated and satisfied with the antenna.

Where I live I do not receive FM very well. I use it primarily with my cell connected to Pandora.

I've only tested it with local radio stations, but the radio does work surprisingly well.

The qulity is very good. It will do a good job on local stations using the whip antenna. To get week stations you will have to use a better antenna and depend on propogation. I live in Eckery Co. and at times receive FM from Colorado Springs.As you can see, antenna and propogation are important.

It works quite well on the 2M and 70cm bands , I.e. 144 to 148 and 440 MHz. I've also used on several FRS Channels 462MHz . Works much better than the "rubber duck" antenna.

after scanning, it will pick up stations in your local area. we get 5 or 6 air channels here depending on location in house/building. the magnetic antenna works good in car too. bought mine about 4 years ago.

FM reception is fine. We live in an area with a lot of radio stations and sometimes you run into one station stepping on another's signal, but that's not a function of the radio. The stations we have programmed in come in perfectly clear. In my opinion you can't beat the sound or quality of this radio for the money.

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

Digital tuner locks stations well if they are local, and doesn't seem to have the static old radios are known for. Antenna is good, but won't pull in stations like a car radio.

depends on how close you are to station, mine does not need an antenna but picks a lot more up with it.

It has a better receiver than my radio shack radio. I was impressed with the clarity of am, fm as well. 100 miles seems like a possibility if the broadcast station is a strong one.

As with any Antenna.... It is a matter of Antenna Height above the ground versus trhe number of signals in the surrounding area... Mounted on top of my Travel Trailer I received excellent reception of stations 75-100 miles away, by using the amplifier that came with this unit... Hope that helps you.....

This is down in the VHF band, nothing on the analog channels around here, but the antenna does pick up FM radio some. This antenna is not designed for the lower freqs which usually require much longer elements. Might do ok with nearby stations? Note that all digital channels are now in the higher UHF band.

The one good thing about this radio, is its reception. I live just outside a metropolitan area and have had no problems AM or FM.

I would think so, we have a similar station and it works. We live at least 20 mile away from some of the station towers and the reception is crystal clear.
