Early domestic-market Western European FM radios would cover 88 - 100.
Then the band was stretched to 104 in the 60s. In the late 1970s/ early 1980s, the band was stretched out to its current 108 MHz. True export models would cover the entire FM band 88-108. Any radio that only covered the 88-100 or 88-104 bands seen in the Americas were brought over by immigrants. Domestic Japanese-market radios cover the FM band from 76 to 91. I should know, I have a couple Japanese-market FM radios. The band between 91 and 108 is used for VHF TV audio channels 1, 2 and 3. Eastern-European/Russian FM radios cover the 66-74 megahertz band. That would be what we use for TV audio for Channel 2, 3 and 4. Using a Japanese radio, you can pick up USA TV audio channels 5 and 6. -- Steph |
