US-radios cannot be used in Europe due the different band of frequencies |

@ Ingo: I recall that oddity too....like 717AM or 1135AM as frequencies....but the factory(analog)AM radios in our '68 Mercury Monterey and our '75 Ford LTD (Too young to recall the '64 Galaxie?)would recieve them?? As would the Stereo I had in my room later?(Of course,we were mostly listening to AFN Radio in the car("Armed Forces Network")out of Frankfurt/Stuttgart/Munchen/Kaiserslautern,too?) The thing was you had to have an old manual(analog,with a knob you turned) tuner,the newer "Electronic" tuners DID have trouble(Hope you got it with a Tape Deck.....) getting off the 700-710-720 etc format? (Like in the US) As I recall,the FM Frequencies were WAY different!!! (Like 98.2 or 100.8....the 'decimal' being an -even- number instead of an -odd- number....but again....a 'steady hand' on your home stereo and......) |

@Buc84: I realised that in 1988, at my school-exchange to Vancouver. There I have seen, that the radio-frequencies were totally different than over here. And I was very bewildered, that back then it was unusual in America to have FM-able car radios. My host family was slightly sore, when I stirred "What, your Cutlass Ciera is not even two years old, has such a monstrous chunk of original radio inside but without FM??" But it was not too bad - were a still very good friends P.S.I cannot say anything about AFN. That station you only could air in Southern Germany or Berlin, not where I lived (and where I live today). In Hannover, where I grew up, we could hear BFBS and all DDR-stations, where I stay now, at the Ruhr Area, also BFBS plus Dutch stations. -- Last edit: 2014-02-16 15:18:55 |
