===========================BEGIN QUOTE============================== I've got a 750. The FM reception is pretty good. I listen to it quite often when I'm in public transport. Sometimes there's some distortion, but that's usually caused by the electrical systems of the train. AM reception is OK, but I hardly ever listen to AM. In the Netherlands all the stations I listen to are in the FM range. ===========================END QUOTE==============================
When you listen to FM on any Walkman radio, including the G750, the headphone cord is your FM aerial / antenna. There are a lot of factors to consider with FM radio on a Walkman. The metal housing that is common with public transport vehicles can act as an RF shield and, as you travel, you will experience "destructive multipath" which is similar to ghosting on analogue TV. This is because you will receive radio signals reflected off hills and tall buildings as well as the direct signal that is emanating from your favourite station's transmitting tower. This can cause "cancelling out" which results in poor signal or mono reception at spasmodic times. As you walk or travel; or even move your headphone lead, the signal will come back to normal stereo reception. So I wouldn't expect perfect reception out of a Walkman radio because of the way it is used. As well, I often wonder whether the cable that runs between the G750 and the remote is the set's FM aerial or whether it is just the headphone cable?
