Hi, Patrick.
In this neck of the woods (northern New England) the major IBOC players are
the NPR stations. Vermont
Nick,
Two times I caught TA's as erratic, I nabbed Farda 1575 and another
time Kaliningrad-1215. So those nights can be good here.

As is so often the case, TA's this evening are very erratic in strength. Have
had brief audio on 1089, and good carriers on 531(who? Algeria? Switzerland has
just left this channel), 756, 783, 999 and 1377.
best wishes,
Nick

Oh, I cannot tell you how many times I checked those books out of the library
when I was a kid. Those were books that dreams were made of. Now you've got
me fired up and I'll probably have to build one also.

Greetings,
Interesting TA carriers here tonight, Noted on usual 1134 (the

Anyone else in the West hearing anything?

IBOC - I acquired a refurbished Accurian HD radio from Radio Shack - I was
curious about IBOC even though I'm none to fond of the racket it generates.
It works beautifully on FM IBOC with the local NPR outlet some ten air miles
or so from my home. On AM it has been unable to decode any station usin

What a goofy idea it was anyway. I am amazed that it got half as far as it
did. Let's hope 2009 is the year we can all say RIP IBOC.

Not enough information ! What is key is the settings you may have used to
convert these to digital in the software. Using too low a bit rate or sample
rate will do that quickly.

Sounds like an impedance mismatch. I don't know what an M-Audio device
is, but I simply go from Line Out on my tape deck to Line In on the
computer sound card. You'll need a cable with RCA plugs on the tape
deck end and a stereo headphone plug on the computer end. You probably
can buy that, but any

However one better call them to see what is or is not included in the sale

Falling down on the job here during the holiday...didn't check the radio until
nearly 1600UT. At that time, weak audio on 1566 and 972, and strong carriers

would have signed off at 1540UT) and left their carriers on
