David, In your case there is no problem. The Euro-radio tunes in finer steps than necessary for North America, but it will hit the right frequencies without problems. The problems start when taking a North American tuner to Europe! Eg. here in Holland, traffic radio is 90.2 FM. Popular rock channel: 96.8 FM. You would not be able to hit those frequencies with a US tuner. However, you will be able to catch Radio 4, 98.9 FM, with fine classical broadcasts from the Concertgebouw on Sunday mornings...
