[BC] RE: 10 kHz spacing / 9 kHz Receiver

[R J Carpenter]

With all this talk about 10/9 kHz steps, a few of the broadcasters in 
the Caribbean operate on 5 kHz points - like 885 kHz.  They are 
generally "notified" on the 10 kHz step to either side if you look at 
the databases.  I suppose this is to avoind some sort of QRM.   I've 
never had a rental car with a radio that tuned these steps. Presumably 
a lot of the locals have analog-tuned radios or their radios are so 
broad it doesn't matter.


As for the source of VW vehicles, the Golf models sold in the USA are 
assembled in Brazil, engines from Mexico, manual transmissions from 
Argentina......
