You can read about it from Google.
FM Receiver can receive between 76 and 108, if region is set to 4:

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.
