Default Programming $10 Event Radio

Naturally, the simple design has gotten me curious. I was wondering if
it could be used to pick up some local air frequencies. Has anyone seen
how they program them?


When we bought our kids' radios at OSH, they only told us how to
convert it into a regular FM radio. Simply hold one of the buttons in
for "x" seconds, and it will no longer pick up the pre-programmed OSH
tower frequencies, becoming, instead, a regular FM band radio.

To switch it BACK to OSH radio, hold the button in again.

They never mentioned a way to re-program the individual pre-set
aviation frequencies. I'll be curious to hear if that's possible, cuz
they are VERY cool little radios.
