Not all frequencies will be assigned to a given area.
This radio will tune to each of these frequencies
using manual tune and no fine tuning is necessary
as radio stations may not use other frequencies.
Some FM radio stations advertise a ªrounded-offº
frequency which is not the frequency they actually
broadcast on. For example, a radio station that is
assigned a frequency of 98.7 MHz may call itself
ªRadio 99º even though 99.0 MHz is not an
allowable FM broadcast frequency.
