My wife has two such animals for her various Ipods.  One has a digital 
tuner that can be set to broadcast from 87.9 to 108.0.  The other is 
programmed by transferring a bunch of "songs", with such great titles as 
"87.9", "88.1", "88.3" etc., to the Ipod.  You select the frequency that 
you want and play its "song".  This is a really BAD feature in that when 
you put the thing into full shuffle, the "frequency songs" get thrown 
into the mix and it will change channels between songs.
