Everything is great across the dial. The volume would drive you out from 710 up. One problem is the 710 signal is so strong that it covers the dial from 700 to about 750. Also I have noticed that this radio doesn't tune as sharply as I thought it would, however I think that is due to lack of AVC and the strong signals in this area. the 710 signal is super strong and close by. I haven't checked, but believe 710 is a clear channel. The lower two stations are a distance away and barely audible.
