I'm pretty sure this is NOT FCC type accepted for us in the US on the frequencies listed and likewise depending on the governing authority in your area if outside the US.

OK, I clicked on your HERE link and I do not suggest spending your money on this unit if you are in the US looking to purchase this unit, without getting further information. Call Papa and ask'em if this unit is FCC type accepted for use in the US. If they say yes, ask them for the FCC acceptance ID number (It'll be on the FCC sticker). Then post that number here for me, please.
You are correct, if this device actually operates in the 109-120 MHz range, it's operating in a range (in the US) reserved for "AERONAUTICAL
RADIONAVIGATION". So yeah...don't use this in the US....

P.S.-Even though I already knew what deviation was, I have to say that was a very good explanation! Thanks!
