I have looked a many units over the years and have yet to see any unit
that does not
have selective tuning. The only thing to be careful of is finding a unit
that has the kind
of selection control you want. By this I mean that if you have a
preference for the type
of switching mechanism and placement of those mechanisms then you should
keep that
in mind. I like to go in to various stereo shops to actually see the head
unit to see how
the buttons work so that I know right there if I like the feel. And as
far as radio station
selection goes, I want a seek/scan option as well as the most presets
possible that are
not hard to access. Right now, I still use the factory Heidleberg radio
and it does fine for my
area as the number of stations I listen to can be counted on one hand. YMMV
