A signaling system for FM transmission systems is disclosed that utilizes one or more so-called quadrature subcarriers for transmitting at least one data signal, including signaling tones, digital data, program material, or the like. The signal is modulated on outer edges of the quadrature channel so as to minimize crosstalk interference with the conventional FM stereo difference channel subcarrier and to place the signals in regions of low hearing acuity. Use of a quadrature subchannel also enables a signal to be modulated onto the quadrature subcarrier to provide the capability of modulating a noise compressed difference signal in a manner so as to minimize degrading crosstalk with the adjacent difference channel subcarrier. A receiving apparatus is disclosed for decoding the quadrature subcarrier data independently of standard FM stereo demodulation.
