The salesman who said the .05 frequency increments on your receiver
was for people who lived where the frequencies drifted was a blowhard,
at least as far as this countries FM broadcasts are concerned.  FM
stations are required by FCC regulations to stay within 3 kHz of
their center frequency, which is an increment of .003 on the receiver!
Anyone who drifts beyond this is broken and must shut off the equipment
or fix it.  Generally stations hold much better accuracy than that.

I once heard a rumor about some european countries having stations
on the even tenths (like 101.2), but don't know if this is really
true.
