    The radio WILL work but it only covers half the frequencies (the odd ones). So you can tune in 89.1 Mhz, 95.3MHz, 107.9MHz and so on, but not 95.8Mz, 104.4MHz, 105.2MHz and so on. There is also no RDS on American radios, so you won't get the station name displayed.

    Some would say not being able to pick up FM104 properly is a good thing, though! :)
