Cyprus Radio Frequencies for cars imported from Japan

If you are having trouble with the radio of your car that was imported from Japan and you cannot tune in to your favorite radio stations you might have to do a little math!

On many cars that were imported from Japan it seems that to tune in to the station you like you need to subtract from the frequency 16Mhz. For example, if the station you are interested in is broadcasting at 97.2Mhz you will have to set your car radio to 81.2Mhz to listen to it.

A list of frequencies will follow soon.


Ubuntu Linux: Enable CPU Frequency Scaling / Change CPU Frequency 1

First: Install gnome-applets in order to get cpufreq-selector application.

sudo apt-get install gnome-applets

*NOTES: gnome-applets installs a LOT of stuff and will take more than 300MB of free space.

 

Second: Check if your CPU supports frequency scaling

sudo cpufreq-selector

*NOTES: It will take a few seconds or more to finish. If it doesn’t return any output proceed to the next step. If you get this message “No cpufreq support” then do not follow the next steps as you will not find neither the files mentioned below nor work out this way for you.

 

Three: Find out the available frequencies that your system can scale to and the available governors (modes of operation for frequency scaling).

cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_available_frequencies
cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_available_governors

*NOTES: You will get output that resembles these: 3000000 2300000 1800000 800000 and conservative ondemand userspace powersave performance.

 

Four and final step: Configure your system one core at a time.

sudo cpufreq-selector -c CORE_NUMBER -f FREQUENCY_IN_MHz -g GOVERNOR_MODE

*NOTES: CORE_NUMBER: An integer value that defines the core you want to edit. FREQUENCY_IN_MHz: A frequency from the scaling_available_frequencies file. GOVERNOR_MODE: A mode name from the scaling_available_governors file.
