In snooping around the noisy dial looking for HS football games tonight between 9:20-9:50pm PDT I noted KNEW-910 Oakland was NOT carrying IBOC. Is this new or have they dropped it some time ago? Unfortunately the 960 & 1050 outlets are still blasting away. Didn't find KLOK-1170s signal very s

This past week a new toy, a Sony XDRF1HD HD Radio Tuner arrived in my radio shack. For the past couple of days I have had a chance to play around with it. I already like it. With it, I am able to tune the first adjacents on FM. AM seems okay enough, but it does suffer a little bit from overl

[IRCA] IBOC carrier precision

I know there are some real IBOC experts on the lists and have a question. Are most, if not all, IBOC stations precisely on-frequency? I believe I read that IBOC required extreme frequency precision of the carrier frequency? I am looking for MW stations to help in accurate calibration of SDR rec

Colin, You are right. There is little IBOC on the AM dial in the NW compared to other areas. However, several NPRs are using it, eg 1340-Tumwater, 1230-Medford, 950-Roseburg, and 1490-Yreka. Even though their QRM is little, I still get it at night. 73, Patrick Patrick Martin KGED QSL Manager

Early this morning I posted that 700-WLW was so strong I could hear their IBOC signal on their carrier frequency in LSB mode (2.3kHz filter). Apparently, not everyone can receive IBOC on their radios on-carrier in sideband mode. So, I recorded an example using local 850-KOA and posted it at the bot

One of the advantages of the SDR type radios is seeing the spectrum. It really helps when trying to null a pest or see if there are TA/TP carriers. Great for seeing if LSB or USB will give the best audio. And, it shows in good detail the IBOC sidebands. AM stations have slight seasonal parameter
