[IRCA] KRKO in digital mode

2014-10-04 Thread Bruce Portzer
KRKO-1380 is running its digital test broadcast.  I don't know when it 
started but I first noticed it a few minutes before 11 pm Pacific time.


The signal occupies exactly +/- 10 kHz bandwidth.  The +/- 5kHz portion 
is about 15 dB stronger than the part that's 5-10kHz above and below 1380.


1370 is free of interference on the lower sideband, as is 1390 on the 
upper sideband.


I don't have a compatible receiver, so I can't comment on how it sounds.

Thanks Bruce. I got it. Lots of HD hash on 1380, but clear on 1390 (1370 is on 
KAST) on the R8. However, I am getting an open carrier on the Sony HD receiver. 
on 1380  Using the NE EWE. The logo claims to be locked on, and there is just 
silence. So I do not know if I am not getting audio or if KRKO has an open 
carrier. I just got the Logo KRKO and bits of bursts of audio, but it comes 
and goes. The locked in HD is always present. I never lose that, but not strong 
enough most of the time to produce audio. Now if I had a 1,000 foot beverage 
aimed at Seattle, maybe. I do think if KSL tests with sold HD, I will get it 
without any issue. KRKO is just not strong enough. KKXA will even be weaker I 
am sure, unless KGDD goes off.

The signal went away at 12:15 AM (PDT), no HD logo, just hash. So I do not know 
what is going on. But I was getting bits of the HD audio at times. But here a 
solid HD signal on KRKO is not useable, However, the analog is fine off the NE 
EWE.

The carrier is back. It just locked again at 12:18 AM but no audio. The HD logo 
is popping on and off, so it is not strong enough to produce audio. HD Radio is 
like HD TV, either you get it or you do not. I guess if the stations end up 
going to digital, then they will mostly cover their metro area.  I am trying to 
get some audio, if possible, but it is tough. Don't know what pattern KRKO is 
using.

I lost the lock again. The signal is really down now. It was much better at the 
beginning. Maybe they are adjusting the power levels or pattern. But it is not 
as good as it once was.

The noise in analog is very strong. In fact, it is hard to hear Ontario OR, so 
if stations decide to go all digital and there are a lot of them, I agree. AM

Re: [IRCA] KRKO in digital mode

Rick,

I am hoping I can catch them better on one of their other times, as KRKO was 
really rough to get much of during the test last night. Lots of open carrier, 
but only bits of short bursts of words here and there.

 God love 'em for testing at a time not listed on their website, and when I
 wasn't available to hear it.
 I hope they test at all of the listed times.

 KRKO-1380 is running its digital test broadcast.  I don't know when it
 started but I first noticed it a few minutes before 11 pm Pacific time.
 
 The signal occupies exactly +/- 10 kHz bandwidth.  The +/- 5kHz portion is
 about 15 dB stronger than the part that's 5-10kHz above and below 1380.
 
 1370 is free of interference on the lower sideband, as is 1390 on the upper
 sideband.
 
 I don't have a compatible receiver, so I can't comment on how it sounds..
