I got this reply for a signal report I sent as per their on air requests
Hi Shawn,
Thank you very much for the signal report. Since we are the first station in Winnipeg to utilize HD, your car may have not gotten a chance before to receive the digital signal.
Your SDR is not lying to you, the IBOC HD subcarriers are injected from approx. -198khz – 116khz below the main carrier and 116khz – 198khz above the carrier. The analog portion fills the gap in-between.
Don’t worry I’m not offended. You should be able to get some good DX signals once we shutdown our AM. I’m not sure if you tried yet, but we have an AM hybrid HD station on 530khz in Toronto. When I was there a few weeks ago, I was able to lock it in my rental car around 11pm. Give it a try.
Happy DXing and thank you once again for your reception report. Please do let me know on your travels how far the HD signal for 92.7FM reaches.
