All About Radio Frequencies
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC)
establishes the frequencies that AM and FM
radio stations may use for their broadcasts. The
allowable frequencies are, AM: 530, 540...1600,
1610 kHz in 10 kHz steps; FM: 87.9, 88.1...107.7,
107.9 MHz in 0.2 MHz steps.
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
"rounded-off" 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 "Radio 99"
even though 99.0 MHz is not an allowable FM
broadcast frequency.
