Yes both of the original Sangean tuners demodulated C-QUAM AM Stereo. The 3rd one did not. I think all the Best Buy Insignia and Rat Shack receivers did too. I remember my friend was in his car around 2005 (?) tuning up and down the AM band on his new in dash HD capable radio. WLS-AM and AM 1390 were both AM Stereo iBOC. We were in shock they were AM Stereo!
The vehicle is a Jeep with a 12.3 in screen. The antenna is in the windshield (trash). I believe it is a Panasonic or Alpine tuner. Honestly, the FM clicks away and sensitivity is a crapshoot. It clicks and whines because there is no insulation in ANYTHING wire related. The AM is the most muddiest audio I have ever heard in my life. The terrestrial offerings are an afterthought these days, wanting people to stream personal devices. Hearing WABC was in itself a miracle on that radio.
Not sure, but I think the HD symbol was lit up, but it was not receiving. Someone told me that they might be turning the HD pilot on for the weekend music programming. Who knows. 🤷🏻♂️ I would contact their engineer but, these days they are all contractors, so good luck on that. It was probably the IF bandwidth feature like you said.
I appreciate everyone replying!
