Lowest station? Can anyone tell me if this can transmit to 87.7 or 87.9?

I've heard that this device has an "easter egg" that if you hold down the last two presets, you'll be able to access 87.7. It has been confirmed by other but I can't say for myself as I haven't purchased one yet. Most likely will. Very Good Reviews everywhere you look.

The minimum power transmit setting for the 857D is 5 watts. It doesn't go lower than that.

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.

I am 30 miles away from broadcast towers and although they are quite clear, the lower channels are tough to tune in. I'd say you should probably go with a larger outdoor antenna at that distance.

It is not good for that. AM, FM, and Weather band frequencies only-- plus, the antenna can be expected to receive from only so far.[For proper reading of this post, please set you snark tuner to level 8]

Range is at least 25 - 30 feet. Don't know what frequency it broadcasts on.

What Mr. Faine says worked for me. No shut-offs and no interference from local radio stations. It's goofy, so here's a little more detail: Follow the instructions in the review section for this product to put it in International Mode and set preset 1 to the lowest frequency (87.7). Switch the unit back to U.S. mode. Tune your FM radio to 87.7 Press the preset button repeatedly on the unit until it says 107.9. *** the unit will actually broadcast on 87.7, not 107.9. *** it no longer shuts off

What area are you from? I'm in Philly and I get reception on 88.1. If you can't get it on that channel, try the lower fm channels 88.1-90.7You might also want to try higher channels, 107.9-106.5...good luck ; )

Idk mine doesn't work I even live in a rural area with only ten or so stations and I can't get it to transmit I tried every single station and not one worked

I suspect it will but I don't know for sure. The tuner is not calibrated and has a very narrow band width do you have to be dead on to get a station. I listen to 91.1 and 88.7 but there is no 87.7 here so I don 't know. Suggest you contact the mfg.

I've looked at the unit itself. No frequency listing is published anywhere on it. Could be 900 Mhz, could be 2.4 Ghz, no way to know.

No idea as my location in the mountains has very poor reception and I am a technology dummy

I am not sure about 87.7 but I listen to 98.3 all the time and he works great. I live out in the country and have a hard time picking up my favorite FM station. With the Peltor I have no problems. The hearing protection is excellent too.

My experience with cheap digital radios (and this is not an expensive such) is that they're often about 0.1 MHz off in one direction or another, so (to use your example) 92.3 or 92.1 would probably serve to get 92.2 unless there were another station very close to the better choice. And, for what it's worth, the Grundig/Eton digital radio I've bought had the 0.1MHz mesh you appear to want, though this is far from a guaranty. I'm sorry I can't be of more assistance.

Just tune it to the "base" broadcast (non-HD) for that frequency, then hit the little up arrow on the left to scan to the next highest broadcast . If there's an HD2 for that station and it's in range, that'll do it. The HD broadcasts do tend to have less range, and for where I am on the eastern edge of the Twin Cities metro (western WI), my favorite station at 91.1 HD2 often requires some manipulation of antenna (what you have plugged into the headphone jack, often actually a line out to a stereo in my case) position to get the HD2 to come in, whereas the non-HD base broadcast comes in strong no matter how it's positioned.

The antenna is not great and there may be feedback to damage the output transistor on 7w. Get a dipole online and then go to 7w.
