Does the Sangean HDR-16 decode C-QUAM Stereo?
We will see just exactly where HD Radio will be in 2030. Most people do believe that there is a future in HD Radio, with all the other platforms that radio uses it’s possible that HD Radio could do fairly well, as another choice for the listeners. The true test will be time, as new vehicles are sold that means more HD Radios in those new vehicles and more exposure to the listeners. I personally look back at where HD Radio was in 2010 and see where it’s at today and see that the growth is slow, but it’s growing and now with the possibility of AM stations allowed to go all digital it’s possible it could work, but again time will tell.So, is HD radio too little too late? I actually thought about buying an HD transmitter.
The owners manual doesn't say anything about C-QUAM. I don't think so.Does the Sangean HDR-16 decode C-QUAM Stereo?
They never did but sometimes, it worked anyway.The owners manual doesn't say anything about C-QUAM. I don't think so.
I've never heard any C-Quam reception on mine. Just AM in mono, with HD indicators blinking from time to time.Does the Sangean HDR-16 decode C-QUAM Stereo?

WXYG 540 Sauk Rapids is a great station. I stream “The Goat 540“ a lot, they do a vintage classic rock format. A great listen indeed.

Many years ago, I was walking my dog and listening to KCJJ 1630 on my Sony SRF-42. The station was playing The Stereo MC's "Connected" The platform motion of their AM stereo, along with the platform motion of the SONG itself was just plain awesome.The only CQUAM station I could receive last night was WJXL (1010) Jacksonville FLA CBS Sportsradio. They run 30KW at night. And, yes, I could hear the cursed platform motion in my headphones. It was nostalgic to see the amber led glowing again!
It does not. I have that radio, and WLS doesn't decodeDoes the Sangean HDR-16 decode C-QUAM Stereo?
WSM did run C-Quam in the 1990's.WLS didn't decode on my Cquam receiver last night so I don't think they are running it anymore.
It could be that WJXL Jacksonville doesn't even know that it's on. It may be enabled, in the default mode, after a power interruption.
One station I thought should run Cquam is WSM (650) Nashville. They are primarily a country music station and carry the Grand Old Opry, at night. And they have good coverage, particularly in the southeast.

Not able to view. I got one of those Opps, unable to view notices. But, I love this station.
Fixed it. Image was apparently too large.Not able to view. I got one of those Opps, unable to view notices. But, I love this station.
Now that’s cool.Fixed it. Image was apparently too large.
Muzak was initially delivered via ETs and telephone lines from a franchise holder's ET. After tape came in they put their library on tape for delivery. Which made possible smaller more local franchise areas. They began delivery by SCA in 1956 but telephone wire delivery remained pretty standard through much of the 60s. I should mention that there were a few FM stations who delivered Muzak to clients in the 50s over the air on their main band. But the FCC discouraged this. Experiments in satellite transmission they made from the mid 1970s but did not begin switching to satellite until 1980. There were once commercial radios available on which you could receive the standard SCA frequencies but the authorities clamped down on those manufacturers eventually and that came to an end. My mother had one in the 1980s on which she liked to tune in to the local police band.Muzak used to use SCA's quite a bit for subscription background music. Once the local flower shop signed up, the local rep would deliver a tuner to connect into their overhead PA system.
