How many HD radio subchannels are there for WHRB Cambridge Harvard radio 95.3 ?

I should add that I find it astounding that some of you are so humorless as to rush to make sure everyone knows how smart you are that you know all about the Harvard orgy period and want to make sure that someone is not led down the wrong road so as to believe there is actual sex going on at Harvard.

I would never presume to know whether or not there's sex going on at Harvard. People tend to stop doing that whenever I show up.

It's been a while since I've perused the SCA bands. But, I believe one of the WHRB SCA's was in the Italian language. The other, I cannot recall. There are some stations in the Boston market who are running both SCA's and HD. For instance, WXKS-FM/107.9, WMJX/106.7, WKLB/102.5 and so on utilize standard FM, FM Stereo, SCA and HD. That's a rather busy setup, for sure Since some HD transmitter set-ups are using two separate transmitters (analog and HD) to one feed-line, otherwise they generally have no real interaction with each other. The average HD plant uses the the 2 adjacent channels (upper and lower) to send the HD signal, while the analog side uses the center channel (licensed carrier frequency) for standard FM (mono), FM Stereo and SCA.

As Scott just mentioned, WERS is still feeding the Talking Information Center on their 92 kHz, in addition to their HD carrier.

How do you tune around the SCA bands?... what equipment will tune around the SCA bands?

Legally, you don't. The FCC specifically prohibits tunable SCA receivers because SCA's are supposed to be private, not public, broadcasts.

That doesn't mean some people don't make tunable SCA receivers anyways, though. MetroSonix is a big seller of them: www.metrosonix.com

There is no centralized database for SCA broadcasts; it's at the discretion of the individual stations. Some SCA's are webcast; most aren't because, again, they're usually for a private audience. The SCA service makes money to support the enterprise by selling SCA receivers. Although it depends on the service, too; I think a lot of RRS (Radio Reading Service, for the blind) are grant-funded so they probably webcast.

you may already have a FM SCA reciever. a boombox - crappier the better, and a soundcard - 192kc or more. plug them together

http://imgur.com/RgsaD here you'll find a mono signal, with about 15k of audio, a stereo pilot at 19, another signal at 38 khz which is L-R channels, another carrier at 57 which is RDS. any SCAs appear beyond that. it appears setting LSB or USB mode and widening out the filter is simplest way to hear the audio

Dude, are you a narc or something? I just said there's no centralized database for this stuff. Instead of pestering us with a bunch of not-quite-rudely-worded posts, learn to Google a little and you'll either find what can be found, or you'll learn that some of this stuff just isn't publicly available.
