Radio Signals

[Diamond Jim]

I am looking for any radio mux between 55W and 139W that has early 1960s to mid 1970s Classic Rock, 1950s to 1970s Classic Bules and Classical Symphonies. Yes, I have a long range of musical tastes. I am currently listening to the mux on 101W. They play good stuff but it it is not exactly what I am looking for. I guess you would say I am looking for something like the old fashioned "underground" rock stations.

I think you might like WPR Sounds on 99. They play everything from old-school country to bluegrass to classic rock, some modern rock and what I would consider "coffee shop rock." You could take it for a test drive here:

Thanks Numb. Do you have an FR and SR or is this a scan and see what I get operation?

99W KU, 12027 V 360

Not sure which receiver you have, some are fussy about low symbol rates. The Octagon sold by Rick tunes it.

[Diamond Jim]

Thanks. I have never seen a symbol rate with only 3 digits.

The Octagon SF 8008 and the Linkbox 9000 would not touch that low SR manually entered or blind scan. I did get quite a few FRs with low SRs but they were all 4 digit. Thanks for the effort.

The Octagon SF 8008

Is it the Octagon SF8008 v3 Supreme?

It could be the LNB.

Just fyi

It's no big deal, but it was worth a try. I get tons of radio channels on the 8008 but none of them have any audio.

105 W C band has the Westwood One mux, it's pretty good but has commercials and more oriented towards FM audiences (that's what the C band feed is for to begin with). It's a really good alternative to local FMs if they either suck (my area has generally good FM stations) or only air good stuff part of the time. (I use it for Classic Rock/Classic Country when local stations are airing ballgames ) Then there's AM radio if you're desperate
The 101W Ku mux is pretty good (no commercials to boot!) but it's a smidge off of what I like too. WPR Classical lately has been one I listen to quite a bit, very relaxing.
GT media V9 (what I have) will tune low symbol rates fairly reliably, if you have a good LNB

I'll give 105W a try, thanks.

IIRC the Westwood One feeds are "hidden" like the Muzak feeds, you have to add them manually

They're not hidden. You scan in 4043 V 10127, then select the audio channel of choice.
