Hi Susan; It's not Bill but what the hell haha.
Waht does the radio look like? How does it sound? Do you get bleed
through from the main carrier when listening to the subcarrier?
Does it have an am broadcast band and if so is it sensative?
Have you had any experience with subcarrier radio's in the past?

I am really trying to decide whether to give my 10 year old supper radio
with a built in subcarrier adapter a face lift or maybe purchasing one
of the receivers you have.
Thanks for any info.
Don

Don,  The only experience I have had with a subcarrier radio is one I 
had when I lived in NOrth Texas which we used for listening to our 
local radio reading service.  It was built specifically for getting 
only that particular reading service.  The radio I have been talking 
about that I bought is FM and subcarrier only with minimal bleedover in 
comparison to what I have heard on other radios.  HOpe this answered 
all your questions.
Susan

Does anyone know where I can get a subcarrier radio that will cover
the whole commercial FM band?  I heard about a company called FM
Atlas.  Has anyone had experience with them?  Hope someone can help.
