AFAIK, FM bands are defined from 87.5 up to 108.0 MHz now (there was a time when the upper limit was set to 100, later 104). So is it a limitation of the _hardware_ to use a narrower band or is it a bug in the driver ? I'm quite sure there are radio stations at 87.9 MHz, and at leats a beacon at 87.5 (or 87.55 ?) MHz. I also checked with my multiband receiver, which runs FM from 87.5 to 108.0 MHz. Please re-check the values above...
