Boston Musical Intelligencer Interviews Roe (Person, Not Fish)

And note he brings up the interference from Datz Hits at 99.7, and also:

>> We have a translator in Beacon Hill on 96.3. Tune it in, you can listen to it all the way to Logan Airport!
Re Datz Hits:
>>>The way the interference works is not just that you can’t hear us in Mattapan, but in other areas like Cambridge and Brookline our signal is degraded. The coverage that 99.5 should have legally is not maximized.

I thought 96.3 was // WGBH, not WCRB...though the Wikipedia entry for WGBH does say that 96.3
is // WCRB (since last Yr)
 
DSP radios that can easily and fully seperate 99.5 from 99.7 have been on the market for about 5 years now. and that the "flagrant broadcasting" they mention stoped about 10 days ago

but i dont expect some station manager or article editor to understand DSP filter selectivity or actually turn on a radio and check

96.3 switched to rebroadcasting WCRB last year. Though it's licensed to "Beacon Hill", it's physically in Cambridge.

We also can't expect all of the general public to own one. Until they do, adjacent channel pirates are still an issue.

Can you supply a model number or two? I'd like to read some reviews of radios in this class. If the price were right and the raw sensitivity and immunity to font-end overload were good enough, I might be interested in buying one. My CC Radio Plus is not in this Class, AFAIK, but it does do a pretty good job of pulling in WICN and rejecting WZBC. However, there is room for improvement of first-adjacent QRM from WZBC, which is much closer (and I believe much stronger at my QTH) than WICN.
