You can read about it from Google.
FM Receiver can receive between 76 and 108, if region is set to 4:
http://mxr.maemo.org/fremantle/sourc...adio-bcm2048.c

However, the only application which can use the receiver, FM Radio Player
http://maemo.org/packages/package_in...io/2010.03.20/
has range 87.5 - 108 as written in its code in
components/fmradio/FMRadioUI.py
self.__fmscala.set_range(87500, 108000)
It can be easily changed... But then you need to compile .py into a .pyo.
I don't know how to do it. Could somebody make a special package?

EDIT STARTED

My MADDE seems to have no python2.5, and thus cannot compile the python files.
At the same time, dpkg-buildpackage doesn't work well on the device itself. It says that FMRadio needs debhelper in order to be built, and debhelper seems to require bsdutils, and bsdutils conflict with busybox.

I have tried to edit the range of frequencies AND the name of the package and then throw the source deb to the autobuilder. The package fmradio-wide can be found, but currently it contains only the changelog and the copyright, so apparently the discrepancies with the name caused absence of the program itself inside the deb. However, I haven't received email from autobuilder yet, so I cannot know exactly where and what went wrong.

EDIT ENDED

Ideally, the application would also change region to 4 when started.

Quick reply...
fmradio-wide has wide range of frequencies. In order to launch it from the icon, create symbolic link:
ln -s /opt/fmradio-wide/FMRadio.py /usr/bin/FMRadio
Use version 2010.03.40, not earlier!

Can someone help me please? I can't get my fm transmitter to work any more since pr 1.3... I went back and followed the mod at the beginning of this thread so I can have my frequency boost to 120 again.. because after the update the signal strength was back down at the stock level of 111 and no extra frequencies were available. Now that I have placed the file back in usr/sbin and still have fmtx faker installed from before, it should work right? The fm transmitter comes on but my widget goes up and down only on the odd channels like 107.7 and 107.5 and the status bar only shows even channels like 107.6 or 107.4, and when try to change the channel by the status bar it says "unable to use fm transmitter" even though it is already on... any ideas guys??

The file fmtxd, unlocked frequency, for /usr/sbin, has to be recompiled again. It's evident that some changes were made in FM transmitter and PR1.2 file isn't compatible with PR1.3.

Does anybody have a new unlocked fmtxd file for PR1.3?
