That's probably the case. (by the way, my car has
a Philco stereo in it-- orig. equipment for a
'96 Ford. Reception hasn't been all that bad and
yes, it probably does default to mono to give
a clearer signal.

Again, it seemed to be in stereo their first few
days but now I'm picking them up in mono (around
the Beverly area, on my car stereo).
Thanks for WBUR info!
