Stereo transmitters may require ‘slightly’ stronger power output to achieve clear stereo sound on the receiving part because transmitter has to also carry out clear 19KHz PILOT signal without which stereo transmission is not possible. If stereo FM receiver does not receive a clear PILOT tone it may change from stereo to mono reception.
