- I have a Sony world band radio and a Toshiba walkman (both digital tuning) and
- they all have a little switch that allow user to choose between 9 and 10 kHz
- step. Yours has got to have a switch.
-
- BTW, I think my Sony manual says that the American stations are 9 kHz apart
- while the rest of the world uses mostly 10 kHz. Am I wrong?
