That must be it, simulcast programing on Am and Fm. If the model had the old FM band it is possible to detune it in such a way to pick up a harmonic of the 88-108 FM band, but this set does not. I have watched videos of people in the former USSR modifying FM receivers there that were intended to pick up stations on the OIRT FM band so that they will pick up the Western FM band, but those two bands are not as far apart. The whole switch over from the old FM band to the new one was made around 1947-48, and the theory was that the old 42-50 mc band would be dedicated to amateur use. How much is in use today is questionable, the lower end used to be used by some police agencies, but that was narrow band FM, much of it is UHF and digital now.
