Nakamichi 400 - tuning it!

Hi All,

If you have got a US spec Nakamichi CD400 with the green/amber switchable display... could you answer me this?

What are the tuning steps in FM? Are they 88.1, 88.3, 88.5 etc, or are they in 0.1 increments? (Nakamichi website says 0.2 increments, loads of other places say 0.1)

As a user, is it possible to change this in the setup mode to a different value? Non USA models do .05 Mhz steps for example.

Any light you can shed on this would be much appreciated!

Im 90% sure it would be in .1 steps.

Afterall not every station falls on 2,4,6 or 8 endings...

As for the half step it is highly unlikely it does this. I havent seen a HU that does yet.

Thanks for the quick reply. Are any of the US FM radio stations on frequencies ending in xx.0 xx.2 , 4, 6, or 8? I cant seem to find any - they all are odd numbers, which suggests that 200 KHz spacing is the norm. The question is... can the Nak CD400 be changed...?

I will just spit out some station numers I listen to, in no particular order.

88.7
92.5
104.7
106.5
98.3
107.3

Take it for what its worth I guess. I will look at my HU and see if it is on .1 incriments or not.... Never really paid any attention to this type of thing....

yes, im quite positive all stations end in an odd number (.2 incriments), but some players can tune into even numbers (.1 incriments).
