CR-V radio US to European frequency?
Hello,
Can anyone help me how to program a 2001 Honda CR-V EX radio from US standard 0.2 MHz frequency interval (eg. 90.1, 90.3, 90.5) to European 0.1 MHz (or is it actually 0.15 MHz) interval? Most of the radios have some hidden menu to change this country code. Thanks, Kimmo |

The audio frequency response is different too, since Europe uses 50uS and the US uses 75uS time constant in the de-emphasis network. The result is that a US spec FM receiver used in Europe will have the higher frequencies attenuated by about 3.5 dB starting around 3 kHz. |
