This dynamo radio has both FM and AM bands.
The FM band is the usual radio channels we usually listen to in Sweden. P1, P2, P3, P4 and all the commercial channels.
AM are the classic European stations broadcasting on 520-1700 KHz, radio Luxembourg is a station with historical dignity, but there are also loads of different stations on AM - the band. Unfortunately, the AM band is being phased out now that the internet has taken over, which is not optimal from a crisis perspective.
