AM Stereo (C-QUAM) Conversion

I was actually at a "crossroads" in the mid-80's and was deciding between the Sony 2010 and the Sangean ATS-803A. I decided against the Sony because it looked too small to be a good DX machine.

I remember cleaning out an apartment after I moved all the furniture out and the only "furniture" I had was the Sangean. Then breaking news on SW: Chernobyl. Reports from around the world on where the cloud was heading. That was a weird time in Russia anyway because Glasnost was happening and you heard some wild stuff on Radio Moscow that you'd never hear in the days of Vladimir Posner. I digress.

Here's the Motorola chip in the MCS:





edit: Here's what an AK'er who used to work at Harris IIRC thinks about it:

KAHN AM Stereo/FM Stereo "Stereo, Stereo" tuner – Post 12 - W9TR

Just for yuks, thought I'd post my 1983 Sony SRF-A100 AM stereo radio. Not sure any L.A. stations are broadcasting in AM stereo anymore.

Nice, I wonder if that one has synchronous detection?
