    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 :)

          Is mono compatibility really worth worrying about these days?

        
        Yes.  For many reasons, but one important one has to do with the
        way FM
        radio is broadcast.
