If I may join the party, I too own an InstantFM USB device and I can't
get it to play radio.  All of this under kernel 3.9.3-gentoo.

dmesg:

xawtv-3.95-r2 (gentoo):

	radio:

	// The interface shows up with 0.00 tuned, and across the screen I
	// see
	VIDIOCGAUDIO: Inappropriate ioctl for device
	VIDIOCSAUDIO: Inappropriate ioctl for device

	radio -f 98.5:
	// The interface shows up with 98.5 tuned, and across the screen I
	// see
	VIDIOCGAUDIO: Inappropriate ioctl for device
	VIDIOCSAUDIO: Inappropriate ioctl for device

	radio -d -i:
	// Seems to scan the proper range, then returns nothing:
	[Stations]
	get_baseline:  min=0.000000 max=0.000000


xawtv3-320b1ab (seemed to be the latest version snapshot yesterday):

	radio:
	// Does not start.
	Invalid freq '127150000'. Current freq out of range?

	radio -f 98.5:
	// Does not start
	Tuning to 98.50 MHz
	Invalid freq '127150000'. Current freq out of range?

	radio -d -i:
	// Starts scanning out of range
	Warning no band specified, scanning band 1.
	scanning: 127.15 MHz - 327675
	// Then still fails
	get_baseline:  min=65535.000000 max=65535.000000
	[Stations]


Is there anything else I can try to help debug this?
