The part is capable of transmitting from 76 to 108 MHz, but probably has a software limitation to keep it legal. Similarly, given the last paragraph in the left column, it's likely that the output power can be increased from the present level, but again may be software limited.
That's what ticks me off. If it's a regional requirement, then it should be tied to regional settings.

Like the max volume. I hear that it's kept artificially low because apparently the ears of French legislators are overly delicate (I kid... sort of). Again: tie this to regional setting and let me crank MY device.
