[IRCA] IBOC busting receiver techniques

[cafe@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]

Made an interesting discovery last night.

Receiver used: Eton E1 with balcony mounted 7' whip

KGO 810 was running IBOC at 0500UTC - no surprise there.
CKOR "EZ-Rock" 800 was completely buried with IBOC hash.

I found by getting Sync lock on the LSB and adjusting the
PBT on the ETon E1 to -.2 to .5 that the HASH completely
vanished. CKOR was readily copied with very little hash present.

I confirmed this by tuning to 820 and repeating the
process on the USB and pushing the PBT to +.2 to +.5

I believe what is at work here is the PBT and not so much
the Selectable sync lock.

If you have a receiver with SYNC selectable and pass band tuning,
give it a whirl... so to speak.
Chant this with me: "What do we want? An IBOC free dial!"
                     "When do we want it? Now!!!"
