[Mn-abs] Radio Talking Book Twin Cities Signal Conversion

[Steve Jacobson]

Dave Andrews has asked that I distribute the following information.  If you live in the Twin Cities area 
and you have a Radio Talking Book receiver, you should have recently received a new receiver in 
preparation for the conversion from an Analog to a digital signal.  The new radios will receive both 
types 
of signal but the old radios receive only an analog signal.  At the present time, the Radio Talking Book 
signal in the Twin Cities area is an analog signal so either type of radio will work.  However, the 
current plan is to change the Twin Cities signal from analog to digital next Monday, June 25, probably 
during the afternoon.  If you are still using the old receiver, it will no longer receive a signal after 
the conversion has occurred.

If you have not received a new radio and would like to receive one, please contact the Communication 
Center right away at 651-642-0885.  If you have a new radio already and it is not currently receiving 
the 
signal, or if you find it stops working next Monday after the signal is changed, please also contact 
that 
same phone number.

Please note that this change had already occurred in other parts of Minnesota.  However, in some cases, 
both signals were available for a time.  In those cases, the old receivers did work for a 
time after the conversion, but this will not be the case for the conversion that is taking place in the 
Twin Cities area.

Best regards,

Steve Jacobson
