This was the Kahn system and it is no longer legal for transmission of stereo
AM in the USA. The Motorola CQUAM system uses a low frequency pilot tone and
an FM modulation of the carrier to send the L-R information.
Why are we discussing AM stereo in this echo? If anyone wants to know more,
hop up to BROADCAST where this discussion makes sense!
