    I bought a V70 (1999 model) while staying in California and shipped it
    back home when I returned to Finland. I realized a curious thing: I'm
    able to tune the radio to only half of the channels. 96.1 and 96.3 MHz
    were available, while my favorite 96.2 wasn't.

    After playing with the radio for a while I noticed that if you put the
    power on to the thing while pressing the button labeled 5 you get
    characters "USA" flashing in the LCD. If you push the button 5 again the
    LCD shows AUS. The radio turns on after a few seconds, and all the
    missing channels are available!

    Different countries have different spaces in the frequencies allocated for
    their stations, Plus I think the carrier frequency is different as well.
    Maybe.....
