I just took a look at my C845 and noticed something interesting. While there is no marker (dot or slash) at 99.5 on my set, there is a closely-spaced pair of marker lines at this point on the FM tuning scale; all other frequencies are marked with a single horizontal line to the right of the numerals. The (former) Conelrad emergency frequencies at 640 and 1240 kHz are similarly marked on the AM side of the vertical tuning dial, with the small CD icons there as well.
