Not all sync detectors are capable of this. You can't listen to an
IBOC station in ECSS either.


If such a station was far enough away to present fading wouldn't that
be far enough to render the sideband noise a moot issue?


The digital stuff is in both sidebands and 180 degrees out of phase with
itself. A simple detector sums to zero; a selectable sideband detector
hears the digital crap along with the analog.


Listen to KFI go wubba wubba wubba...
