Muzak is now using satellite
to broadcast their service. Anyone know what bird they might be on? Encrypted I would emagine? Muzak is NOT encrypted. They are on satellite G3 (Galaxy 3) on Ku band using an analogue subcarrier scheme called "FM Squared". These are subcarriers, similar to the subcarriers that are commonly used on analogue satellite stations except that they are in the range of 0 MHz to 5.8 MHz instead of the commonly available 5.8 MHz to 8.2 MHz range. I believe that all of these Muzak services are on Galaxy 3 Ku band channels 3 and 16. There used to be a couple of adaptors available for outboard satellite stereo units that would allow you to tune this range. I have one from a company called "Universal" that adapts my outboard Drake SA-24 satellite stereo decoder to tune FM2. I remember that it cost about $100 when I bought it in the early '90's. Hope this helps, Fred E. Awesome! Printed for future reference (once I get my Ku band running ... C band only now). jw wb9uai |

I do have one more question though. I am looking for someone reliable to convert either my SuperRadio3 or my DX 390 with a Sca Decoder Kit. I wrote e-mailed for Dr Elving at the FM Radio site but got no reply. I also gogooled to no avail. Any info would be greatly appreciated. ThankYou SNIPPPPP Awesome!
