I have a Sony world band radio and a Toshiba walkman (both digital tuning) and
they all have a little switch that allow user to choose between 9 and 10 kHz
step.  Yours has got to have a switch.

BTW, I think my Sony manual says that the American stations are 9 kHz apart
while the rest of the world uses mostly 10 kHz.  Am I wrong?

Cheers!
