I had an excellent example this afternoon of hearing 3 at once, when
listening to 93.5 FM, on a stock radio in an early 2000's Chrysler sedan.
The initial station, then another, then yet a third, all nearly equal in
strength after they faded in. I had hoped to get a recording as an
example, but I was in heavy traffic, with a cop behind me.
I'll try some other time.
"I have a feeling that the capture effect is more pronounced with the
old Foster-Seeley type of discriminator"
I'll research this.
