Answer
Hi Gerry,

Sorry it took so long for someone to answer this.

Basically, you're out of luck.  FM radio stations in the U.S. only broadcast on "odd" channels that end in .1, .3, .5, .7, and .9.  As such, all radio tuners are built to just skip to those frequencies, and there's no way to get a U.S. radio to go to even ones, unless you buy a special model designed to do that, or one built in or made for Europe.  Sorry to say but you're out of luck.  Cheers, Wink
