2. Add a channel slider: Add a slider to your FM radio flowgraph and use it to change channels while your flowgraph is running.

3. Add a second channel: Update your FM radio flowgraph so that it allows you to listen to two radio stations at the same time. Hint: Use an Add block to combine two audio signals.
