DW oxnard ca I always used the sync detector or SSB ECSS to listen to it, so the fading was much less an issue. Since you have to get both sidebands to cancel out the IBOC, I can't use sync detection, because my SW2, just like a Sony 2010, can only sync to one sideband at a time. Luckily, KKOH 780 comes in great at night, and they don't have IBOC. Same for KGO 810. |

I haven't tried KFI with the DSB SyncDet on the E1 yet, usually listen during the day when their HD signal eliminates the hiss, between QSB induced HD loss. What time of the evening does KGO turn off their HD-IBOC jammer? I usually listen to Ray Taliaferro overnight on the Icom on USB without problem. Being a Citadel station, it only uses IBOC during daylight hours, to avoid jamming other Citadel stations after dark (where they rule North America, pretty much.) Ray T. does a good show. We need more live and local. Can you get KOA 850? |

You need full DSB desired and undesired information in order to cancel the IBOC junk. When a sync detector uses phasing to cancel one sideband or the other, it cancels only _interference_ in that sideband. It does _not_ cancel that sideband of the desired signal -- since the Q channel contains essentially no audio from the desired signal. So you are _always_ listening to _both_ sidebands of the desired AM or DSB signal, even when listening in the synchronous LSB or synchronous USB mode. But if the IBOC sidebands are transmitted in quadrature (meaning 90 degrees out of phase) with the AM carrier, and I seem to recall that they are, then you're right -- you'd have to listen to the I channel detector _without phasing_ in order to cancel them out. And the Sony 2010 unfortunately won't allow you to do that. With all good wishes, Kevin, WB4AIO. |
