WYNY is an NBC affiliate station. - By tuning the Yaesu to 31.5 kHZ USB, and the TV to channel 68, the audio of WWHT-TV Newark, a scrambled TV station, was monitored. Other signals were heard, including a series of 6 or 7 telemetering tones sent every 30 seconds on an FM subcarrier of a TV station. Several FM broadcast stations in the New York area were also using subcarrier technology. One station was transmitting 3 different subcarrier channels of information concurrently. -- =============================================================================== Bob Parnass, Bell Telephone Laboratories - ihnp4!ihu1h!parnass - (312)979-5414
