Riddle me this:

Can your car radios, OEM or aftermarket, tune into the following FM frequencies:

99.1
107.1
92.5

I'll explain why I want to know this if anybody really cares, but for now please answer my question.

Yes, but can it pick up every frequency in that range?

North American radios have the same frequency range, but only pick up the frequencies with an odd tenths digit. I wan't to be sure a European radio will get those and not, say, just the ones with an even tenths digit.

That's why I specifically asked if you can get 99.1, 92.5, 107.1, etc.

I just bought a fan belt from the stealer today and it was made in Romania, that was almost cool. Now back to your regular thread...

Yes in UK, my long-standing 'Pioneer' casette/radio in the bimmer tunes every 0.05 Mhz.

I don't know if anyone transmits on those particular frequencies tho - maybe I will check in the morning.
