Many radios for the US market has not only the AM and FM bands but
they also have the TV band.
Can anyone explain what is the TV band ?
Can you hear to television broadcasts in that band ?
If so, could it work in Italy too ?
Thanks


Generally, they cover 54 MHz - 88 MHz FM. This enables one to listen
to audio on channels 2-6 in the U.S., Canada, Mexico and possibly
others. From an old World Radio TV Handbook and from

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Televis...el_frequencies

it looks like you should be able to get audio from Italian channels A,
B and C.
