I thought I read this thing had a radio antenna.

Is there not a built in app, or a Samsung app that utilizes it?

 

[rushmore]

Nope. NextRadio is the go to app for it.

 

[jarome]

The headphone cord is the antenna.

The headphone cord is the antenna.

I thought usmc meant the actual radio hardware on chip.

Correct.

If it has a chip. You would think there'd be a native app.

The only "universal" app I've found is Next Radio. Runs the radio if there is one, or streams online if there isn't. Samsung has a few things to learn about customer desires.

So has anyone actually tested the S9 to see if it has a functional radio using the Next Radio app?

Mine has a functioning radio (S9+, Sprint, QC 845).

Keep in mind, some carriers disable the radio.
