AM radio on mz-nf520d?

[RobA]

Is there a AM radio function on this unit? If not, what unit(s) do provide AM radio?

I have no personal experience of this unit, though it looks like a version of the N420D "downloader" MD unit modified to accept one of the "radio remotes".

MD units with radio function have no radio receiver built into the body of the unit, but can accept one of the aforementioned radio remotes (they have a special connector which only fits into suitable units).

The radios built into the remotes are fairly basic in terms of sound quality, and it isn't possible to record from them with the "host" MD unit.

I have come across one MD unit which has the right socket for a radio remote, but which doesn't actually work with one (from memory that is the N710 but I might be wrong),

I know that the radios cannot record, I never use recording. I'm just looking for a cheap radio unit that has built-in AM radio in the remote.

NF610 and NF810 can also get AM/FM/TV/Weather when used with the radio remotes.

Thanks, I'm off to ebay.

I have the NHF800, I have AM/FM radio and I read somewhere also TV (I couldn't use that feature if it have it...)

I don't know if anybody has an idea about this; but the AM radio is set for Europe, it goes from 9 to 9 Khz (it starts on 531 Khz and continious on 540 khz and so on...).

I live in Argentina and here the AM radio goes from 10 to 10, so it stars on 530 khz and continuos on 540 khz and so on.

Is there anyway to change that?

If your interested and wanna know why is different, it's because you can set more radio stations if you reduce the bandwidth. So in Europe there are too many people in such a little space, there are also too many radio stations. In Argentina we don't need that (thank's God, because it also reduce the sound quality, which is already poor...)
