FM question

[id373]

Is there any way I could tune below the 87.5 mHz that Rockbox lets me do now? I think it would be nice to have the hardware's full potential utilized... 76 mHz

Yes! Actually I can get some TV broadcasts at 71.7 mHz and 81.7 mHz.

More info: FM Presets.

But I don't know how far you can go below 70 mHz.

What did you change to get that low? Did you just type it into the preset list?

Yes. Here's an example:

71700000: Station 01
81700000: Station 02
89100000: Station 03
92300000: Station 04

Thanks for directing me to that, I didn't know it was there, but it's really helpful.


I know on some radios you can tune in to a TV station and hear the signal- does this require any special hardware? I'd be very interested in getting stations like channel 10, 9, 7 and ABC on the FM radio. I'm in Melbourne.
