Insurance Disputes

I didn't mention that they also want to replace my linear tracking turntable with one that doesn't have linear tracking.

I've already been having a crappy time lately with so much stuff and, while I realize it's irrational, I feel personally affronted by these replacement suggestions. I can't go to social things. I can't go shopping at thrift stores. Everytime I go indoors somewhere I have to worry that I'm exposing Miriam to danger.
If I'm stuck inside so much, I just want to be able to sit down and play my goddam music, you know?

I also note some inconsistency here. They want to replace my slide rule with a slide rule. Applying the same "equivalent functionality" rule, they should probably have offered to buy a cheap pocket calculator. It's the same principle as the receiver. I suspect part of that may be that they don't know what the hell a slide rule is.

I hear you.

The unusual FM output might be useful if you want to listen to HD AM stereo.

Is HD AM stereo broadcast on FM bands? I don't know anything about it. How does that work?

[acelightning73]

Am stereo was, and possibly still is, broadcast on the stereo subcarriers of commercial FM. You need a receiver that can play AM stereo, but I think there's a way to do it by having two receivers, and tuning them to the subcarriers of each channel and just adjusting for the best sound.

That's really cool!
