At first when I heard it, I thought perhaps you had some radio playing in the background when you were recording the podcast. Then I thought, "Really?! I don't think that would be thing for an astute radio-knowledgeable person to do." <br /><br />Well, glad you found the source. When I recorded the birth of my firstborn with an audiocassette recorder in a nearby room, I had to quickly solder a .001 uF ceramic disc across the plug going into the recorder to prevent a nearby 1300 kHz AM country station from interfering. But FM...now THAT is a station of a different color. <br /><br />I did note in our EE lab only a block or two away from the then transmitting antenna location of KUT-FM at UT in Austin, we had a tiny, tiny crawl of 90.3 MHz (freq back then) running around on the really tiny signals we were trying to take Polaroid photos of for that assignment. But we didn't HEAR them. <br /><br />Do you think your switch to the D-104 microphone and its high impedance might have provided some way to make the signal live on in your podcast? Try a lower-impedance mic and see if it goes away.<br /><br />73, K5FNIAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7590176649168185428.post-29525517698673850562011-03-13T18:19:10.224-04:002011-03-13T18:19:10.224-04:00But how is it being demodulated?
