FM scala in USA is the same as in EU?



I am living in Europa and are loking for a tuner. I have seen many tuners in USA for sale. I would like to know if it is only the watt in different (110 to 220) or if the scala FM also is different.
Thanks

Allan, don't. It is not the scale that is different, it is the step width (or whatever it is called - the minimum station seperation). In EU the steps are half the size of USofA. Therefore, if you buy a tuner from US, you will not be getting (or getting distorted) some of the stations. All these apply to DIGITAL tuners. With analog tuners (they are expensive !) you do NOT have the problem. Also, the other way around works perfectly (ie buy in EU and use in US - which I did).
