Hi all,

Could any one tell me if the status 315 is suitable to pick up AM/FM radio signals.

Thanks Richie

Hi wizard,

I would say that would be a yes for FM, but no for AM then?

Thanks Richie

Ours works for digital (Freeview) TV, analogue TV, FM and AM.

Perhaps you should check your connections.

Also works fine on our TV, yeh check out your connections. I have only been on one site where reception was not up to scratch, but we were warned before hand that it had poor reception even with a mast mounted aerial

all I can say about tthe flying saucer is this, me pitched with status and amplifier total pants picture, papa pip on next pitch with a 10' normal aerial clear as a bell, great picture on digital. says it all. at home (very bad reception house aerial is approx 60' up) very little with status, watchable picture with the pole mount and as I said to the boss if I can get anything at home there should be no probs on site, at home I have tall buildings on 4 sides

hopefully it wont be £40 wasted
