I tried to tune my new iPod nano (5th gen), but I can't get it to "even" tenth's of MHz (e.g. 91.8 FM, 88.0 FM, 102.0 FM). It seems to have only "odd" addresses (e.g. 91.1, 100.7 etc.). I'm missing almost all my favorite local (Israel) radio stations??!!
About Radio Regions
iPod nano can be used in many countries to receive FM radio signals. iPod nano comes
with five preset signal ranges, identified by region: The Americas, Asia, Australia,
Europe, and Japan.
To select a radio region:
m Choose Radio Regions from the Settings menu, and then choose your region.
The Radio Regions menu also appears in the Radio menu.
Region settings are determined by international radio standards, not actual geographic
regions. If you live in a country not listed in the Radio Regions menu, choose a region
that best matches the radio frequency specifications in your country.
The following table specifies the radio frequency range of each region in the Radio
Regions menu, along with the increments between stations (indicated by the ± sign).
Important: iPod nano is intended for the reception of public broadcasts only. Listening
to transmissions that are not intended for the public is illegal in some countries and
violators may be prosecuted. Check and obey the laws and regulations in the areas
where you plan to use iPod nano.

Thanks CMC SK. Yes I have read the manual. I was just suggesting to kiwi1111 what region setting I used to operate the radio function in New Zealand, as I am also from NZ.
