I just set up an FM antenna in my attic, connected to my TV server in my basement, & figured I'd set up FM on the server.
When scanning for FM stations, the scanner scans every .1MHz, even though I'm set for Canada. Even frequencies aren't used in N.A for FM, & the scan should therefore only scan every .2Mhz on the odd decimals ie. 102.1, 102.3 etc.
I assume it scans every .1Mhz, because the even frequencies are used elsewhere (Europe?). It wouldn't be a problem waiting though the extended scan, but scanning the even frequencies here, causes a problem.
If a station is powerful, the noise on the even frequency just before the station, is sufficient to make MP incorrectly import it as a station, even though it's a bunch of noise. MP then skips .4Mhz, evey time it imports a station, before it resumes it's scan. This causes it to jump right passed the correct frequency for the station, which was .1MHz higher. It also causes it to sometimes skip another station that was .2Mhz away. I live near two major markets, so it's not unheard of to have one station on 103.3 (in one market), & another on 103.5 (in the other market).
I tried setting the sensitivity to low, hoping it would stop it from adding in false stations on adjacent frequencies, but it does not help.
Could the scanner be changed to adhere to country selection, or at least allow manual selection of odd/even scanning?
I'd also like to be able to set it to only skip .2 Mhz when it finds a station. Is this possible?
The stations it did import, are listed in the radio channels section as type analog, instead of type FM. Trying to view FM details throws an error.
Scan logs, & multiple pics attached.
Thanks
Brad
