After a few seconds, each of these tps locked at SQ 66% and 77/79% respectively. But I can't scan either in. I tried varying the frequencies a MHz or two but that didn't help. I'll try later in the day when signals typically get stronger.
I didn't scan in any feeds on those two either, but I suspect adding a "User channel" using the APIDS from the PDF would work on the Amiko h.265 with Hyper Casey special firmware. I just haven't tried it yet.

I tried entering each APID into the V9 for these two frequencies but couldn't play any.
I used the Amiko to manually program in some of the Westwood One syndicated radio channels on 105 C. I remember hearing these are going away soon (hope that isn't true).
The Amiko works great for radio.

Listening to the low SR WPR mux (12027 V 360) on the Amiko.
Program in the TP in the settings, let it lock, then add "User Channels" for each feed with APID's 4097, 4098, and 4099.
Thanks again Hyper Casey for making this possible on this very solid receiver.
There have been no signal drop-out's at all.

I revisited this. My Edision even when using the so-called T2MI driver with Low SR still can't lock this tp. The best it can do is show an SNR of 0.5 dB. My GT Media V9 locks readily and plays all three audio PIDs mentioned. SQ is 80%. WPR Classical is a good station to listen to.
The V9 Prime has an "AV" output. Anybody know what would work with this? I'd like to be able to hose out L and R channel audio to RCA inputs on my AVR.
This cable should work. However, the particular RCA jacks might not be labeled for what they work out to be on the V9 receiver. You'd have to figure out which color is VIDEO, then the other two would be the audio outputs. https://www.amazon.com/Camcorder-SMX-F40RN-SMX-F40BP-SMX-F40BN-SMX-F40SP/dp/B08GPS3B94
What's the pinout for the V9 Prime's 3.5mm AV output?
To connect your V9 Prime's 3.5mm AV output to a display using a 3.5mm to RCA cable, it's important to understand the pinout of the 3.5mm jack. While specific pinouts can vary slightly depending on the device, a common standard for AV output on such jacks is as follows:
- Tip (innermost pin): Left audio channel
- Ring 1 (middle pin): Right audio channel
- Ring 2 (second ring from the tip): Ground (for both audio channels)
- Sleeve (outermost part of the connector): Video signal
The diagram and label says "3-pin". So no video. Left/right audio only?
Added: The manual shows it can feed video, so it's a 4-pin then.
Tried it. I get audio on the left channel and distortion on the right channel. Ordered a L/R/Yellow adapter to test.
Notice that the 3.5 jack plugs of these two links have different lengths (one has a longer sleeve, than the other)!
I had this issue with a receiver myself; I needed the longer plug, but that was harder to find (at that time).

I have been using this AV output to port in audio to my external speaker. It caused HDMI output port to malfunction after some time.
I had to replace the box.
I looked it up again:
With my "SAB Sky 4800 mini" receiver the pinout was (from tip to sleeve): Right - Left - Video - CommonGround.
I needed the long version of the plug (see my post above).
I once tested a normal length audio 3.5 jack cable in the receiver, and it didn't output R. Just L and Vid.
Every "ring" is about 3 mm, so I would guess that by inserting a jack plug in steps of 3 mm at a time, and checking the outputs, you can discover if the sleeve is meant to be 3mm, or 6mm.
I don't remember if I actually tested it this way, or that I first found a picture of the needed long plug on the SAB website.
When you need a sleeve of 3mm, but insert a plug with a sleeve of 6 mm, I guess you would short the signal of the last ring.
(I don't know if a short in that video signal also would lead to a defect in HDMI, as was the case with texanboy ?)
BTW, welcome to the forum, texanboy !
If however, the "however" at the bottom of the post by primestar31 applies, things will be difficult.....

"Distortion" as in no audio signal, but possibly the Vid signal?

Then if Ring2 = Vid,
R-L-Vid-GND might well be your needed pin-out, with the longer version of the 3.5 jack.
I'll look forward to the test, with your ordered cable!
Greetz,
A33
This checking method would not work, I realize by now, because the GND would not be connected properly.
What might work: insert the jack plug only 6mm, and check at the tip and ring1 connections of the cable if sound or vid signal is there. If so, the sleeve is only 3mm. This method assumes that GND is at the sleeve, or at ring2 (of the receiver), though.
Sorry if I caused confusion.
So the easiest way might be trial and error, with some cables, after all?
