I see that the specs for some radios include TV frequencies but always
for channel 2-13 VHF.
Where are the UHF frequencies located and why are they not available
except on a TV set?
I don't even need it now but there was a time a couple years back when
CNN was starting to be broadcast live 24 hours on a local UHF station,
I think it was channel 35. I wanted to be able to receive it on a
radio in my office but at that time none of the radios I looked at
that had TV had TV UHF.

Scanner radios will cover some of the UHF channels.
In the US, all TV channels are 6 MHz wide. Channel 14 is 470-476 MHz.
Channel 15 is 476-482 MHz, etc. The audio carrier is 5.75 MHz up from the
bottom of the channel (e.g., for ch 14, audio would be at 475.75 MHz).

The frequency assignments and broadcast standards in Kenya are probably very
different.
