AM Stereo
This means the Delco@ system can receive C-QUAM@
stereo broadcasts. Many
AM stations around the country
use C-QUAM@ to produce stereo, though some
do not.
(C-QUAM@ is
a registered trademark of Motorola, Inc.)
If your D~ICO@ system can get C-QUAM@, your
“STEREO” light will come on when you’re receiving it.
