   Oh. That is different. Apart from the digital radio, I've only got   
   digital tuning on my alarm clock radio. I have another radio alarm with   
   better sound, but it keeps "wandering" out of tune, so I stick with the   
   tinny sound of the digitally tuned one.   
      
   I don't think it is just digital tuning that has limits on where you   
   reach these days, but I've just checked the small radio I keep on the   
   dining room table: it goes from 88 to just over 1600 KHz - I'm sure my   
   car radio doesn't have a range like that.
