I don't know if it is possible, this app goes from 87.5 to 108.0 MHz by itself: it's not me setting that freq span but the Mobility library. Only Japan has a freq span of 76-90 MHz, so I guess it will go to those freq as soon as you switch to Japan Firmware! So I guess that if you mod the firmware to go to those freq, surely this app will let you pick that freq range since I have not put any block and autoscan should keep working.

EDIT: Ok I got it, while the radio is open with root rights:
"echo 3 > /sys/class/i2c-adapter/i2c-3/3-0022/region" and restart QRadio.
And it goes from 76 to 90. I can't realize if it works as expected since I have no way to check it without a trip to Japan, so I have to ask you to try it and let me know if it works.
Also the rds is in the same folder, just in exadecimal, will get a look at it.

EDIT2: To get it back to europe range, echo 2.
