All About Radio Frequencies
*
[AS36700(BEF )05/95]
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC)
and the Canadian Radio Telecommunications
Commission (CRTC) establish the frequencies
AM and FM radio stations may use for their
broadcasts. The allowable frequencies are, AM:
530, 540...1600, 1610 kHz in 10 kHz steps; FM:
87.9, 88.1...107.7, 107.9 MHz in 0.2 MHz steps.
*
[AS36800(BEF )01/95]
Not all frequencies will be assigned to a given
area. This radio will tune to each of these
frequencies using MANUAL TUNE and no fine
tuning is necessary as radio stations may not use
other frequencies.

[AS36900(BEF )02/95]
Some FM radio stations advertise a
“rounded-off” frequency which is not the
frequency they actually broadcast on. For
example, a radio station that is assigned a
frequency of 98.7 MHz may call itself “Radio 99”
even though 99.0 MHz is not an allowable FM
broadcast frequency.
