This is a question primarily for Marcus D. Leech (aka patchvonbraun):

In your simple_fm_rcv project, you have a "Multiply Const" block that contains the constant 3.16k whenever stereo is enabled. I presume this is used to amplify the level of the "L - R" signal to reach the ideal level of separation between the channels. How did you arrive at that constant, i.e. what is it based on? I haven't been able to find any official spec that explains how much the L-R signal should be amplified. Thanks in advance.

I think part of the reason for that (hey, I wrote this thing last summer :) ) is that you end up having to multiply a bunch of signals together that are individually something like -10dB down, so you have to make up for that somewhere.

The thing really did start out simple. Then I added stereo, and tried to improve the sound quality, and then....
