## Questions & Answers

**Q: I just purchased this sony icf-506 radio and it is constant static while in am mode. is there a solution to this?**
A: AM reception involves a LOT of dependencies - too numerous to recount here; but, here are a few starters:  COMPLETE static probably results from location, likely in a cement or steel building.  Static on individual stations may be improved by rotating the radio to be perpendicular to the station transmitter location.  Unlike FM, AM uses an internal ferrite-bar antenna, optimally about 8" long, usually across the top of the case (inside).  Rotating the radio can make that AM ferrite-bar antenna perpendicular to the station transmitter ... for best reception.   AM reception is better at night, also.  Beyond this, Google AM reception ... for more thorough explanations.

**Q: How powerful is the speaker volume?**
A: fine for bedroom or smaller den / not big volume in big room / sounds good for my purposes, which is to have it sitting near by to change channels / nice clear sound

**Q: Does this radio properly tune fm stations in the u.s.?  the scale of the tuner appears to be set for japanese broadcasting.**
A: Yes, it does properly tune FM, which is 88 to 108 mHz, which is exactly what the dial scale indicates on the radio.  I think the Japanese FM band starts at 76 mHz which this radio does not cover.

**Q: Does the power cord store away in the radio when using batteries?**
A: Hi Amazon Customer, No, the power cord is detachable. You may refer to the link below for more information:
