I for one will be really really happy if this is done; the default
firmware's handling of the FM tuner is so broken as to make the FM
reception pretty much unusable in large parts of the UK. The problem is
that major radio stations (Radio 4, for instance) have clear reception
ranges *under* 0.1MHz (at least this has been true everywhere I ever
lived) --- but the default firmware tunes in 0.1MHz steps and can't be
told to move in finer increments.

A piece of stupid design surely awaiting the Rockbox touch. :)
