I once had a car radio which enforced this rule. Wouldn't tune to anything except odd decimals.

And it worked fine in my home city, every single radio station was on an odd frequency.

But I don't live in the US. One day I went on holiday to another city, and in that city and 90% of radio stations were on even frequencies. The poor radio refused to tune into them. You could set it to the neighbouring frequency and get it half tuned in, but it would never lock.



In all the car radios that I've had, I can tune it to a 20'th of a MHz. So it'll go from 102.0 to 102.05 and then 102.1.

I've never had anything lock up on those .05 frequencies though. I wonder if it's every used anywhere.


You're just not going fast enough.
