You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 54.163.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 17:28, 10 March 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

((Refimprove|date=November 2019))
The [[frequency modulation]] radio broadcast band in [[Japan]] is 76-95 [[Hertz|MHz]].<ref>((Cite web|url=https://recnet.com/japan-radio|title=Radio in Japan ((!)) REC Networks|website=recnet.com|access-date=2019-11-14))</ref> The 90-108&nbsp;MHz section was used for television for [[Very high frequency|VHF channels]] 1, 2 and 3 until the [[digital television transition|analog shutdown]] occurred on July 24, 2011. The narrowness of the Japanese band (19&nbsp;MHz compared to slightly more than 20&nbsp;MHz for the CCIR band; until the mid-2010s, it was a 14&nbsp;MHz band) limits the number of FM stations that can be accommodated on the dial.

In late 2013, the [[Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications]] published a report proposing the expansion of the FM band to 95&nbsp;MHz; at the time, the Japanese FM band was from 76-90 MHz. Many stations that had been previously only available on the AM band were issued preliminary licenses to broadcast from 90-95&nbsp;MHz. The first station to go on air in the expanded band was [[Nankai Broadcasting]], which began test broadcasts on 91.7 FM on November 3, 2014.

==Receiver issues==
Many Japanese radios are designed to be capable of receiving both the Japanese FM band and the [[FM broadcast band|CCIR FM band]], so that the same model can be sold within Japan or exported. The radio may cover 76 to 108&nbsp;MHz, the frequency coverage may be selectable by the user, or during assembly the radio may be set to operate on one band by means of a specially-placed [[diode]] or other internal component.

Conventional [[analog-tuned]] (dial & pointer) radios may be marked with "TV Sound" in the 90-108 section. If these radios were sold in the US, for example, the 76-88 section would be marked TV sound for VHF channels 5 and 6, with the 88-108 section band as audio FM.

===Used automobile resale issues===
Second-hand [[Car|automobiles]] imported from Japan contain a radio designed for the Japanese FM band, and importers often fit a "converter" to down-convert the 87.5-108.0&nbsp;MHz band to the frequencies that the radio can accept. In addition to showing an incorrect frequency, there are two other disadvantages that can result in undesired performance; the converter cannot down-convert in full the regular international FM band (up to 20.5&nbsp;MHz wide) to the only 14&nbsp;MHz wide Japanese band (unless the converter incorporates two user-switchable down-convert modes), and the original antenna may perform poorly on the higher FM band. Another problem is that [[Radio Data System|RDS]] is not used in Japan, whereas most modern car radios available in Europe use this system. Also the converter may not allow pass-through of the MW band (if desired). A better solution is to replace the radio and antenna with ones designed for the country where the car will be used, but this can be difficult where custom-built radios are fitted.
