"Just trying to help... otherwise, it might be like the FT-50, which will also receive wide FM but it sounds lousy because it won't switch out of narrow FM mode. Good luck!" I have the FT-50, you can switch it to W-FM easy enough for FMBC reception, the problem is, the FT-50 is about 46 KCs wide in W-FM where you need about 100KCs for it to sound good... Kurt
