FM radios overseas
I know someone who will be working in Israel for about a month. I would like to get her an AM/FM pocket size radio with headphones or ear buds. Not sure what city she will be in, but I noticed a list that showed some FM stations ending with even numbers instead of the odd numbers used here. For example, Jerusalem has 88.0, 88.2, 88.8, 90.0, 96.6, and others, in addition to some on odd numbered freqs.Will digital tuners for US radios pick these up or will they go off frequency?

Re: FM radios overseas
I think they use both even and odd frequencies in that part of the world. But it's still 88-108 mhz.
In Japan, the FM band runs from 76-90 mhz. Both even and odd.
My Zune has FM settings for North America, Europe, and Japan.
