You still need to tune it but there are many "center frequencies" that can be tuned instead of just one. So, you wouldn't have to tune far but you would still have to tune :) If you had a knob like most radios in the 80's it would save you from cranking the knob several times to get the dial into the right range before fine-tuning.
- jedberg 2y agoI think the theory is that every car that has an FM radio has it tuned to something. So no matter what, as soon as you put on the FM radio, it would have the audio.
- imoverclocked 2y agoYeah, until you have a 5 year old (probably me in this case in the 80s) that plays with random knobs on the dash when they get in the car. Is it volume? Is it the tuner? We’ll know once the car turns on!
- monktastic1 2y agoIt's broadcasting on every valid ("odd") frequency. I guess it still depends on if you have an analog or digital dial.
- badc0ffee 2y agoAn analog tuner with PLL would work much like a digital one.
