<p>The disclosed embodiments relate to a system that processes a received signal. An exemplary embodiment of the system comprises a receiver circuit (100) that is adapted to receive the received signal and separate an out-of-band data signal (39) corresponding to an out-of-band frequency spectrum from the received signal, an analog-to-digital (A/D) converter (202) that converts the out-of-band data signal (39) to a digitized out-of-band frequency spectrum signal (203), and a circuit (206) that is adapted to identify data corresponding to an out-of-band data channel within the digitized out-of-band frequency spectrum signal (203).</p>
