Jahntassa Posted June 15, 2008 Report Share Posted June 15, 2008 I thought the lowest station in the US FM band was 87.9..I don't know how many receivers, if any, i've seen go lower than that.. In fact, from some of the other Pioneer manuals I could find, the lowest the Pioneer FM tuners will go is 87.9. Edit: Even better, there is no license on record with the FCC to transmit at 87.7FM in New York. Despite their web site, looks like a pirate station of some sort..

Julius Posted June 15, 2008 Report Share Posted June 15, 2008 Mine go as low as 87.5. I'm in St. louis, Mo. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
HiFiSi Posted June 15, 2008 Report Share Posted June 15, 2008 Throughout the world, the broadcast band is 87.5 to 108.0 MHz (i.e. in the VHF range), or some portion thereof. In the U.S. it is 87.8 to 108.0 MHz. Russia and Japan are the only exception, using the 66 to 90 MHz band with 0.1 MHz channel spacing. Any station below 87.8 is not licensed for broadcast by the FCC. And there is no reason to make a unit that will tune down below whose frequencies if there are supposed to be no radio stations there in the first place. And to the poster above me, in places OTHER THAN THE US, FM broadcasts can go down to 87.5Mhz. The tuner in your Pioneer Elite reciever probably goes down that far because it was designed to operate in more regions than just the USA, so it would have to be able to cover the full FM spectrum. I also found this along my travels... some pretty good info in there... http://www.ntia.doc.gov/osmhome/allochrt.pdf Quote Link to post Share on other sites

smiley2000 Posted June 30, 2008 Report Share Posted June 30, 2008 Before, I purchase a D3 for my 2005 Mustang. I had a factory Ford Radio. The radio would go down to 87.7 on the FM dial. Well, Driving through Richmond, VA and Washington D.C. I was able to get local radio plus TV stations. TV Stations Simulcast there TV channel on that Station. I also remember my old VW Fox was able to access 87.7, that was the clears channel to use with my iTrip and iPod. It seems like Pioneer does not use 87.7. But, not true for other radio manufacturers.

Meatwad Posted June 30, 2008 Report Share Posted June 30, 2008 Well, Driving through Richmond, VA and Washington D.C. I was able to get local radio plus TV stations. TV Stations Simulcast there TV channel on that Station. Not really, but Channel 6 is very close to the low-end of the FM dial. The audio for VHF Channel 6 is broadcast at 87.75, so it can be picked up on many FM radios. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

CatchMeIfYouCan631 Posted July 2, 2008 Report Share Posted July 2, 2008 theres deff an 87.7 in ny Quote Link to post Share on other sites
HiFiSi Posted July 2, 2008 Report Share Posted July 2, 2008 Nobody's debating on whether or not there IS an 87.7 in new york. What is in question is that that frequency isn't authorized for use by the FCC in the U.S., which would mean that there is no reason to produce electronics meant solely for use in the U.S. that have a tuner that will go down that far, as there's not SUPPOSED to be any broadcasts at that frequency in the first place.

CatchMeIfYouCan631 Posted July 2, 2008 Report Share Posted July 2, 2008 oo ok gotcha. is there a way to manualy input the station or you can only seek up or down? i remember in my clarion you were able to input each number manually. for example, pressing 1-0-6-1 gave you 106.1 BLI Quote Link to post Share on other sites
HiFiSi Posted July 2, 2008 Report Share Posted July 2, 2008 I'm pretty sure it doesn't have that feature... But even if you could manually type in the frequency you want, if the tuner isn't programed to go that low, it's not gonna go there. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Yettavr6 Posted July 2, 2008 Report Share Posted July 2, 2008 Is there a channel 6 in NY? As Meatwad said, the audio from TV channel 6 can be heard on 87.7, at that's how it is here in philly. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
