When I were a lad the only way to get to a particualr frequency was to tu=
ne=20
to it.  Nowadays you can type the numbers into it.

However, the standard sort of tuner still allows you to tell it to move u=
p=20
the frequency range until it finds a transmission, and then present the=20
content to you... as in most car radios.
