I've been hearing this noize that almost sounds like hiss or bleed from an adjacent audio program. I went nuts searching for it the other day and finally narrowed it down and monitored it directly out of the receiver. When I went to email them about it, it went away. Since then, it's been back, and I've also heard it on other stations and other programs that I know are fed by Dial Global. Anyone else notice it?

Anyone hearing weird noize in Dial Global receivers?

I heard excessive, nasty hiss on the Clark Howard feed on one of our stations a couple of weeks ago. It was gone the next day. That station is in another market and I was unable to determine if it was coming out of the receiver sounding like that, but it was definitely present on only that feed. I haven't heard it since then.
It's most likely a problem with their encoders. Noise and crosstalk would point to a clocking issue on the transmit end.
We've been experiencing it as well on the kool gold classic hits format, what's interesting is we had it in the right channel on port one, had them authorize it on port 2, it was in the left channel then, they thought a replacement receiver might fix it, sent another, now we have intermittent noise in the left channel of port one.
I've spoken to them a couple more times, they insist its something in our studio and its impossible for it to be their problem.

Is this continuous or on-and-off with the added noise occuring along with relative peaks in the audio?
WSCR AM 670 has some kind of rasp that follows the audio and appears on peaks.
If there were any increase in hiss, I'd never know, it's a CBS AM iboc. Do they use Dial Global for dist?

I received a notice warning of sun outages. I spent a couple of nights at a hotel last week and their local cable operators downlinks were being eaten up. Happens a couple of times a year. Check this link:

noise is still coming and going, was in the left channel last week, now in the right. it seems to follow audio somewhat but is still there on silence.
I've spoken to DG about it too many times to count, every time they insist they have no problems and will not even attempt to look into it.
I've even sent them a recording directly off the receiver, they still won't entertain the idea its their problem.

One of my clients discussed this last week with DG after hearing during the Laura Ingraham show. Apparently, it's a defect in the "virtual mixer" of the Wegener receiver and they are fighting to get it resolved. On a mono feed, you may find one of the L/R output channels is quieter than the other, so in the meantime try swapping them.
