Actually, you can tell on a regular FM receiver. There is a high pitched
whine about .4 MHZ off the main station. For example if you had a station
on 105.9 you could hear the whine on 105.5 or 106.3. If you live in a
crowded major market you may not be able to hear the whine because of all
the move-ins or suburban stations.
