Dodgy Modulation from SUR

Jul 162011

The Society have received another flurry of complaints about Radio SUR. Society memebrs endeavoured to locate their transmission location without success. The signal was so over modulated that much of the power was in the sidebands making signal strength direction finding impossible. A quick look at the modulation using the PIR 75 Modulation meter showed a horribly over modulated signal.

A look at the modulation power we see

Clearly limiting is not a part of their transmission chain

Compare these graphs with those of The Flea on LPFM Observer here. This is a good example of an LPFM station that is not a good neighbour. This station has continually trampled on other stations with blatant disregard for other broadcasters. Now their excsive modulation is now impacting on stations on adjacent channels.
