In Germany there are stations with e.g. 89.9, 94.4 - so the
"even 100 kHz digits" are used as well. But yeah, a spacing at 50kHz is
not necessary and the automatic scanning usually stops one step before
the "real" frequency, so that tapping the one-step-button produces
better results (suddenly stereo works).
It probably would be better to try "locking in" the real frequency, i.e.
if there is a candidate, try a bit further and if it gets worse, go back
again.
Also tapping the "scan" button should probably skip 100kHz or so,
because frequently you get the same station again.
