Facmogu FM Radio Receiver, Professional Si4730 Radio Receiver with 33ft Long Cables Antenna, Mini FM Global Frequency HiFi Support Type -C Interface & 3.5mm Audio Output

I needed an inexpensive FM receiver, with external antenna, to pair with my JBL Boombox 2 for the drive in theater, and this checked the box. Controls are easy enough to figure out without the "instructions" sent. Under $40 USD, includes antenna, 33' of antenna cable, mount, and all the wires needed to work. I power it off of either the JBL Boombox USB charger port, or off of a 12,000 mAH battery pack I got w/ a fan, low power consumption means it runs for a good long while. It's small, fits right in the bag w/ the speaker, and when connected up to the speaker, and antenna properly placed, stations come in clear and sound is good for what I need it to be. All in all, happy w/ the pricing and functionality of this device. Do yourself a favor, run a full scan on initial power up (w/ antenna connected, properly placed, and receiver in desired location), and then if you move the antenna, do another scan in order for best results. Long press on top dial gives you "finer" search control, but one click doesn't necessarily equal 1kHz change/step, takes some getting used to.

I've gotten two of these. They work great. On the rare occasion I have no sound, just unplug it a second or two and power it up again. Voilà! Your sound is back for the attack. These look good too and come with a pretty sweet antenna and a nice long cable run if you need that.

Heres why I went I went with a 3 ...sound quality. Give this unit a little more bass and I would of gone 5. I was looking for something to add decent FM radio to a small living room setup. Device with lots of potential. First of all, the reviews of weak/bad reception would be from people not familiar with the ins and outs of FM radio reception, antenna placement and technical limits of FM radio given steaming options these days. I picked up stations over 60 miles away with the basic antenna provided (nice long cord by the way, thanks for that). and just setting it in a corner on the floor . The radio is actually pretty cool for the price BUT .. the audio quality for music purposes is definitely not going to be up to the quality of a separate component receiver (with the help of a EQ you might be ok). I listen to a local station for talk radio and the sound and signal was excellent for that, but music, no .. I would say its on par with the free Android Fm streaming services and sound quality from them. Channel separation was decent, memory and station preset and selection was fine. I really like the form factor and design. If you just want a FM receiver.. a 5, if you want a good sound source for FM.. its a 3 (even with separate bass and treble controls on the amp). I will keep it based on the smallness, functionality and overall design. I just wont count on it for a good audiophile sound source. Theres kind of a resurgence in vintage audio, tube amps and small class D amps but theres a lack of a decent new (non vintage) FM audio source that fits on a desktop with these little amps. I would encourage Facmogu to work on some nice built in eq options or improve the sound of the audio. Update - as I use it more... Going to a 4...finding I just use it for talk radio and news.

Picks up a lot stations I didn't even know about

I needed units to connect to speakers to receive a signal from a small FM transmitter. They did very well once the antennas were anchored/magnetically attached to a metal base for help with receiving the signal. I wish the controls/buttons were a little friendlier to use. The big dial on the top sometimes doesn’t register a tick/turn on both of the unit I purchased. The cable attached to the antenna is a nice length and after reviewing the directions I got the hang of how they needed to be controlled.

Simple, FM tuner you can hookup to an old receiver or radio with a broken tuner or antenna. The magnetic antenna post extends nearly 3 feet; reception is outstanding. FYI: the last review for anything that I’ve written was more than a year ago. Quite happy with this purchase. Operational tip: you need to allow the digital tuner to run a full auto scan of your FM dial before proper use.

Very disappointing (and understatement). Not only was the reception (even with the large antenna moved to many different places, no better than a transistor or portable radio, but also it defaulted to lower FM frequencies every time you turned it on. If you want above 90.0 you have to manually press a button before it tunes to any station. Once you shut it off, have to do it all over again. I return fewer than 1/2 of a percent of things I get on Amazon. Can't recommend this product.

Works well with my christmas light project, plenty enough wire for the antenna. Magnet on antenna could be stronger though
