i did a little research. technicaly 87.7 is channel 6 on tv. so 87.7 is not a radio station but a tv frequency

not quite... just the audio is on that frequency. but yes, in the eyes of the FCC, that's TV territory. US FM starts at 87.9.

 

You could replace the crystal if you really want :wink:

click:hardware manual HD3

 

Get the European version (HD3):

Frequency range.................. 87.5 MHz to 108.0 MHz

You'll have RDS as well....

 

(just kidding) :wink:
