I only kind of skimmed through portions of the video as I wasn't really particularly interested in the history of its evolution, but what jumped out at me a bit past the halfway mark was that it implies the SStran AMT3000 used in the test as a "high-fidelty" AM transmitter..
Is that correct? I thought only a Cquam transmitter with it's wider bandwidth is considered high-fidelity.. am I wrong?
I wouldn't call an SSTran high fidelity. The meaning of that term is that sound close to the original is produced.
@artisan-radio Yeah but in the video he says he couldn't test the radios high fidelity capability because the licenced stations don't do that anymore, so he used his Sstran transmitter to demonstrate its, but couldn't show it in the video because he might infringe on copyright or something. So right there he implied the SStran as capable of producing a high-fidelity broadcast.
It's at the 6:32 mark where he shows the SStran 3000 and implies it as a high-fidelity transmitter. From the transcript, here's exactly what he said:
"Unfortunately, I can't demonstrate the high fidelity support as modern AM stations don't transmit in high fidelity, especially not if they're only broadcasting voice.
What | did do was hook up my low power AM transmitter and broadcast some highquality audio streamed from a PC. And it did appear that the maximum fidelity position produces higher quality audio with music.
Unfortunately, | can't demonstrate this in the video as YouTube would likely flag any commercial music as a copyright violation."
