why can not receive FM radio on bandscope version??

[muhansarang74]

Hello.

I am curious why the bandscope version (without FM broadcast support) cannot receive FM radio. Even when I enter a valid radio frequency(eg. 107.7Mhz, SBS radio in Korea) in the F1 band VFO, I cannot hear the radio (it makes some strange sounds, but they are unintelligible). It would be great to use both features (spectrum function and FM radio reception), but it seems I have to give up one.

Simply thinking, by setting the radio frequency (eg. 107.7Mhz) and the modulation mode to FM, it should be received regardless of Wide/Narrow.."

I am asking because I lack technical background.

P.S.: Of course, the FM radio works perfectly in the FM broadcast version.

Flash/storage size limitations. FM broadcast is "extra wide" and needs to initialize/use a separate chip to receive.
