Thans mate, it doesn’t take long for word to spread haha
Yeah it certainly is in AM Stereo, first time it has been in Stereo as-well… I can’t take all the credit it was a team effort between myself, Paul Batchelor (4WK Manager) and Andrew Chapman… BE AM Stereo Board, some test gear and a bit of time and WHAM back in stereo
I wish, but only so much AM Stereo gear still floating around the traps now days, so for now one or two in stereo should be enough to make people happy
There is still quite a lot of AM Stereo Radios still floating around from the 80/90s… Also some imports particularly from the US where HD radio is used also have the ability to decode C-QUAM due to some chips that decode IBOC also decode C-QUAM…
Myself I own 2x Sony JX-220A… But i am a geek of course
You heard right so watch this space
Yeah I believe that is because when IBOC is used it limits the audio bandwidth on the analog component to 5k, so been that most HD Radios do C-QUAM, 10k AM Stereo sounds much better then badly digitally compressed audio… I love the idea of turning C-QUAM back on as when it is setup right, it can almost sounds as good as FM on a decent wide-band receiver
