What commercial radio frequencies does Japan use?
Am helping a friend who got a used Japanese radio and in the process
of getting it to work in the Philippines. We use the standard FM frequencies here. I was just wondering if Japan used a different set of frequecies with their radio tuners. My theory is, if Japan use the same range of FM frequecies then it should be able to grab the FM signals from our country. But if they use a different range which I suspect, similar to their TV signals then we might have to change the tuner of the radio. According to him he can only get 3 channels from the radio. Would appreciate some comments from anybody familiar with Japanese commercial radio frequencies. Thanks. Eric |

What commercial radio frequencies does Japan use?
Eric,
Japan's FM band is 76-90 MHz, most of the world use 88-108 MHz. This means you can only listen to TV channel 5 (Manila's ABC5) & 6 plus FM stations transmitting within 88-90 MHz. Try www.google.com and do a search for "FM band expander", most of the products are geared for car audio though. Another option is to modify the FM front end. Modification is not practical for digital/synthesized tuners in general. Good luck! PJ Remove "_no_spam_" on email for personal correspondence. "Eric Sta.
