FM scala in USA is the same as in EU?



I am living in Europa and are loking for a tuner. I have seen many tuners in USA for sale. I would like to know if it is only the watt in different (110 to 220) or if the scala FM also is different.
Thanks

I just talked to someone at Magnum Dynalab (a Canadian tuner manufacturer).
He said that the scales are the same, though I think that the US may use different fine frequency increments (like 0.5 or 0.2)for automatic frequency seeking.
However, he said that the big difference is in the "deemphasis" used in Europe Vs. North America.
Magnum Dynalab will change the deemphasis and the transformer (from 110 into 220V) for $100 (I don't know if these are Canadian or US dollars).
