Is there anyone out there who knows how I can add FM subcarrier reception capability to my present FM receivers? I am thinking of allowing either my FM tuner or my boom-box type portable AM/FM radio cassette recorder to get this kind of broadcast. Since I don't really have the technical knowhow to build a kit to do this (although I'm sure it would not be too difficult for elcetronics hobbyists), I'm mostly interested in ready-made products for this particular purpose. And let me mention that the FM subcarrier service that I'd like to hear has posted an ad in a local paper telling people to buy a certain radio for some Cdn. $110 at some authorized dealers. I am positive that the amount asked for is a rip-off. Eager as I may be to hear that service, I am not about to be taken in that easily. This reminds me of another thing. Does anyone have some kind of listing of FM subcarrier services in Toronto? If not, is there anywhere I can acquire such information? I know that the FM Atlas by Bruce Elving tells one that a subcarrier service is carried on a certain frequency, but it does not tell one which. I'm quite sure that if I can receive all the FM subcarrier services, I will find a lot more interesting broadcasts other than the one that I have in mind right now. Any help will be appreciated, either by posting to the net or e-mailing me. Thanks. Frankie Sun fktsun@violet.waterloo.edu
