Hi Pete, The FM performance of the new PL-606 is excellent, as it is in almost all of the new Si4734 DSP-chip Ultralight radios. Because of dramatic breakthroughs in the DSP chip design, the FM sensitivity and selectivity are almost in a different league, in comparison to traditional portables. The new PL-606 also includes a clever screw-on plastic clamp attachment, to extend the length of the whip antenna from 22.25" up to 38.25". This also provides a significant boost in FM sensitivity, making the radio the Ultralight radio class leader in weak-signal FM performance. Some of the FM stations received from Puyallup (not too far from you) are listed in the competitive test section of the PL-606 review article. 73, Gary DeBock (in Puyallup, WA) In a message dated 11/28/2010 8:39:26 P.M.
