Talk:FM broadcasting in the USA
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
There's a lot more information to be added here. Just for starters:
- Subcarriers go up as high as 95 kHz.
- The stereo difference subcarrier is not AM, it's DSB, which is decoded using a synchronous detector against the second harmonic of the pilot tone. Likewise at higher harmonics of the pilot tone for the other subcarriers (that's why they're all centered at multiplex of 19 kHz).
- I'm not convinced that W1XOJ (Paxton, Mass.) was the first licensed FM station; I would have expected Armstrong's own W2XMN to hold that title. Donna Halper has written an essay on John Shepard's experimental FM stations, including W1XOJ and its sisters W1XOK and W1XER.
Someone else can do the writing on this; I've got enough on my plate as it is.

[edit] Pages for Other Cities
On the bottom of the main FM radio page, please look at (but you don't have to click on) the Atlanta FM radio stations page. Can anyone who visits this post pages similar to it, the only difference is that it is for a different United States city??
[edit] FM broadcasting in the USA
This is a very good article, but it focuses solely on FM broadcasting in the USA. I propose that it be moved to FM broadcasting in the USA. Comments? If there are no objections by Monday 14 March, I'll move it. --Tony Sidaway|Talk 11:50, 8 Mar 2005 (UTC)
- Done. --Tony Sidaway|Talk 23:37, 14 Mar 2005 (UTC)
