The North American model changes FM frequency in
0.2 MHz steps, 10 kHz steps for AM. For other models
the frequency changes in 0.05 MHz steps for FM and
9 kHz (or 10 kHz) steps for AM.
When tuned into a station, the TUNED indicator
appears. When tuned into a stereo FM station, the FM
STEREO indicator also appears.
