I'd like to know whether anyone knows of a *SIMPLE* way (preferably
involving more soldering than desoldering :-)) to modify an FM radio
so that I could tune in to the TV (notably, TV channel 3) Sound Band.
I only know that TV sound uses carrier frquencies above standard FM
(??). So, If I'm right, all it should involve is hacking the tank
circuit (or something else in there) to make sure it tunes into the
appropriate frequencies. Am i right ???

Much gratitude in Advance. (This newsgroup is my last hope!).
