Default Analog for All -vice- IBOC -vice- DRM -vice- 'other' Digital Standards - I Have Questions ? ? ?

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.
