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:

        // see

        [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?
