It seems that the video4linux driver for the AIMS Labs radio card
(or the equivalent Reveal RadioTrack) limits the usable frequency range
to 88-108 MHz. Why?
Here in K-Town, Germany, there are two radio stations with frequencies
below 88 Mhz (Deutschlandfunk and CFN Frankfurt). If I try to choose one
of them with the fm-tools I get the following error message:
"Frequency 87.6 out of range (88.0 - 108.0 MHz)".
I solved the problem by simply changing the rangelow value like this
(kernel 2.2.0pre6):
