- Analog TV station audio channels should be monitored in Wideband FM (WFM) mode. Each audio channel uses 100 kHz bandwidth. It is not possible to monitor digital TV audio with an FM receiver.
- The video and audio carrier frequencies listed are for the NTSC analog standard and are not applicable to the new ATSC digital (DTV or HDTV) standard.
- Some analog TV stations are offset + or - 10 kHz (.01 MHz) from the standard frequencies to reduce co-channel interference.
- The 8-VSB modulation used in ATSC (DTV) has a pilot carrier approximately 310 KHz above the lower band edge.
- Some DTV stations are offset slightly to reduce co-channel interference.
