The transmission was in normal broadcast wideband FM.
I was listening on a Icom 706 MKIIG with the wide FM filter and the audio was quite good with no distortion. The signal level here was about an S9 which was not enough to quiet the background hiss.
I dont think that the Bearcat or the 756 have a wide FM mode, do they ?
The music I heard all day was classical and the format reminded me of WQXR. I think there are still some of us around that listen to classical music .
