Re: Start of FM band

[Sven Weil <sven@lily.org>]

That type of tuning is not surprising.  Any GOOD digital walkman will
either have a setting for tuning in AM stations in either 10khz/9khz
(Americas/Europe, Asia, Middle East) and FM will be tuned in 1 khz
increments (Europe's freuqencies are arranged that way) forcompatibility
when you take the radio on a trip or for export.  the Sony WMFX-425 is
just such a radio.  Same thing with the AIWA TX695 (an example of which I
own).
