Yes, FM receivers switch to mono when reception is problematic, but
also, because of the L-R, L+R FM stereo derivation, out of phase content
causes problems. I don't remember the details because a) it was 40
years ago when I studied that, and; b) the majority of music doesn't
have considerable out of phase content, so it's not something I've been
overly concerned with.

That's a good point! When a receiver is not
close enough to the
transmitter, some receivers will switch to mono...as I recall. I'm
guessing there might be crosstalk issues and compression issues too?
In any case, I updated the program to allow the user to specify the
pan law (up to 6 dB) and also do delay panning if you want :)
