Question Trouble reading FM broadcast SA

This show came to me supposedly lossless. Can someone help me interpret the SA and FA? I know it's from an FM broadcast because there's promos, etc. on the recording, but I don't know enough about FM to tell if this is lossless or lossy. There's no blockiness but it looks clipped at about 16k. What are those 2 lines at 16k and 19k?

Also, can you tell by the analyses if it's a pre-FM source or if it was recorded from the broadcast?

Thanks

Re: Trouble reading FM broadcast SA

I have never seen an FM broadcast that had two stripes... normally only one stripe.

for sure it is not pre-fm, seems like its recorded from FM (with the extra stripe in there I-don't-know-how).

Re: Trouble reading FM broadcast SA

The FA alone is enough to prove that it's not lossy.

I believe the extra stripe in the Spectral Analysis is from static. Does the recording have some radio "hiss" in it?

Re: Trouble reading FM broadcast SA

That top line is a sign of a crappy sound card.

Thanks for the info guys. This is such a great service here.

BTW, no radio "hiss" - the show sounds GREAT - I just thought the SA was odd.
