Very complicated radio on the presets and clock. I misplaced the booklet so hope to find it. One reviewer gave some good info on setting stations for the USA so I'll try to follow them bcz need 10 vs 9 step-ups or something? I can hardly press hard enough to get that battery door off. This radio is aggravating to this tech challenged old lady. Am sounds okay as well as FM. Both bands have a nice rich sound with no static. The volume can go super loud past what I can tolerate. .Excuse me I somehow triggered the alarm buzzer so need to pull the batteries cuz I don't know how to stop it, need to find that booklet.

OK. So I found the instructions from the other reviewers to be not very clear and struggled a little bit. So here is what I find you'll need to do in order to change the AM tuning step size to 10 instead of the default step size of 9. With the radio power off and clock displaying only, press the "M-" button for about 5 seconds until you see either the "9 kHz" or "10 kHz" displayed in the lighted screen. At this point press the "^" or "v" tuning button to cycle this between those two choices. Once you see your correct AM step size which is "10 kHz" for me, then do nothing, and the radio will go back to light off display with clock only. Your choice will be stored, and the radio will be using this AM tuning step size from now on. Other reviewers mentioned pressing "M-" again after your chosen step size is displayed. But I found this to be unnecessary.The radio looks and feels great when holding in the hand. It is also compact enough for a portable radio. The built-in alarm clock is a bonus. Also, it is able to run on both batteries (4 AA's) or a 5V USB plug. It is a drawback that it does not use a standard USB charging cable. Its charging cable plugs into a USB A charging outlet, but the other end is not a standard micro USB or USB C plug, but instead it is a non-standard round plug which makes it difficult to replace if I ever lose this nonstandard charging cable. FM reception is great, and the digital tuning allows me to tune FM in 0.1 frequency increment which is great. However AM reception is terrible. Also, the digital tuning only allows me to tune AM in 9 frequency increment which is really weird (see above for instructions to change it back to 10 step size). For example, if I am on AM 630, the digital tuning only lets me tune to AM 639. Another click would take me to AM 648! So I would be out of luck if I want to tune to AM 640. I just can't get to it! Manual although in English seems to be all Chinese in grammars etc... and hard to understand. Going from radio to clock mode and back is very difficult and non-intuitive.Best use of this radio is to just leave it on FM band and used as an FM radio only. No AM, and no clock. So two stars for a weird radio, bad user manual, and bad AM reception.
