I've always wondered what UKW stood for on European all-band radios; after reading the posts in this thread, now I know. Until now I had no idea UKW on foreign radios is actually the FM broadcast band (88-100 MHz, as opposed to 88-108 MHz in North America).
BTW, I wonder why the European FM band ends at 100 MHz, rather than extending to 108 MHz as in North America? Is there another radio band in Europe (public service, etc.) which starts at 100 MHz and ends at 108 MHz?
Thanks for any info.
