I have an EH Scott 800B from '47-'48 & it has the 88-108 FM band on it. But I also have a Zenith tabletop set that has BOTH FM bands on it. As far as when FM "kicked in" I remember Knoxville had a station, WEZK 97.5 that played "easy listening" "music" by the late '60s. But I also remember some wags saying "FM" meant "Find Me" even into the '70s. My gran had one of those Zenith wooden tabletop 731 sets & kept it set on the Black Mountain NC station-IIRC, it was at the top of the dial-105 or 107 or so,& they played classical & Billy Graham all the time. FM doesn't work too well here in the mountains, but sometimes WILL surprise you-I have picked up Atlanta & Lexington, Ky stations here. But the "skip" has to be just right...-Sandy G.
