complete AM and FM bands.
Those bands cover these f requen-
cies:
AM band:
530 to 1,710 kilohertz

87.7 to 107.9 megahertz
Radio stations on the AM band are
assigned f requencies at least ten
kilohertz apart (530, 540, 550).

assigned f requencies at least 0.2
megahertz apart (87.9, 88.1, 88.3).Stations must use these exact

the station as ‘‘FM101.’’
