1. A method of configuring a tuner, comprising the steps of:
- scanning at least one range of radio frequencies;
measuring a signal quality metric for each of a plurality of the frequencies; and
selecting a set of operational frequencies for the tuner, said selecting being dependent upon the measuring step.

10. A method of configuring a tuner, comprising the steps of:
-
scanning a first range of one of FM radio frequencies and AM radio frequencies; measuring a first signal quality metric for each of a plurality of the radio frequencies in the first range; scanning a selected second range of an other of FM radio frequencies and AM radio frequencies; measuring a second signal quality metric for each of a plurality of the radio frequencies in the second range; and selecting a set of operational FM frequencies for the tuner and a set of operational AM frequencies for the tuner, the set of operational FM frequencies and the set of operational AM frequencies corresponding to a radio frequency convention in a particular region of the world, the selecting being dependent upon each of the measuring steps. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15)

16. A method of configuring a radio, comprising the steps of:
-
scanning at least one range of radio frequencies; measuring a signal quality metric for each of a plurality of the frequencies; selecting a set of operational frequencies for a tuner of the radio, the set of operational frequencies corresponding to a radio frequency convention in a particular region of the world, the selecting being dependent upon the measuring step; and defining at least one function for a corresponding user interface control associated with the radio, the defining being dependent upon at least one of the selected set of operational frequencies and the corresponding radio frequency convention. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20)
