US Version Blaupunkt Radios have an FM band of 88-108 MHz, compared to Euro FM band of 88-100 MHz.

Radio Wave "Bands" AM/FM/SW/M, etc.

The following is an explanation of the various wave "bands" found on Blaupunkt radios, both US versions and European versions.

1. US Band "AM" = Euro Band "AM" or "M", Frequency 520-1640 Khz, used for Commercial.

2. US Band "FM" = Euro Band "U", Frequency 87-100 Mgz (87-108 US), used for Commercial.

3. US Band "LW" = Euro Band "L"/"LW", Frequency 150-340 Khz, Commercial/Aviation/Weather.

4. US Band "MB" = Euro Band "MB", Frequency 2-2.8 Mgz, used for Marine.

5. US Band "SW" = Euro Band "K", Frequency Various, used for Short Wave.

As can be seem from the above, Blaupunkt radios came with one or more different frequency bands. The basic one-band radio came with the AM band. The next step was usually AM/FM. A common third band was LW (long wave) or SW (shortwave). In Europe, the LW band is for commercial broadcasts, however in the US, the LW band is used for aviation and weather broadcasts. European version radios are marked with the Euro band designators (M, U, L, MB or K), found on the push buttons.
