Can't go that low

I have one Radio Shack portable radio that cannot get down to 87.7 FM. How many radio's do you think are out there that can't go that low?

I used to have an aftermarket Pioneer car head unit that wouldn't. Every other digital radio I've owned, high-end and low-end, goes to 87.5 or 87.7. Based on my experience, digital radios without 87.7 are very much the exception to the rule.
 
I believe all of my radios can get 87.7, and I have some pretty old ones. The question is will I want to listen to 87.7 once they get started?
 
As noted in one of the other 87.7 threads, here at the OMW World HQ, every single radio tunes down to 87.7, including in the OMW Mobile. Six radios in total.

Don't have any Walgreens $5 specials, tho.
 
I actually have a shortwave radio which FM Band goes down to 76 MHz, to accommodate the Japanese FM Band. Channel 5's audio could be heard before the analog shutoff.
