I have the IBOC station from hell, KBAQ, in Phoenix.  On my Citation 14 (and most other tuners) it has IBOC noise.  A user on another forum said his Citation 18 does not.  I have heard that under the hood the 14, 15 and 18 are pretty similar.  Any observations from owners?  Thanks!

The FCC has established an "Interference Protection and Complaint Remediation" procedure to protect the reception of analog FM signals. It is documented starting at page 10 in http://hraunfoss.fcc.gov/edocs_public/attachmatch/DA-10-208A1.pdf .  This procedure is a bit complex, and it requires that you first contact the station that you believe is receiving the interference. The onus is on them to first try to work it out with the station supposedly creating the interference.
