go to lou franklin/cbc intl for fm possibility.
for variable, you need a resistor to limit high dead key on an external pot replacing the VR for output on the board. you can either drill a hole & add a new pot on top or side of cover, or just use an infrequently used control such as the squelch. |

You can FM almost any radio by applying audio to a VARICAP diode at a mixer point. this still leaves you with a AM receiver but you can slope detect. Would i do this? NO but it can be done NOT EASY. Now if you REALY want good FM the best FM radio ive ever seen is a alinco DR-M03 but finding one is a problem..... they will go from 27-29.99 with a minor mod.
These might help
