Great annalogy (mispell?) Rich

Another way to compare AM & FM is when listening to the radio ...although most forum members are younger than me so wont remember medium wave.


Basically Radio 1 used to be (if I remember right) on 247mhz MW and Radio Luxenbourg was definately on 208 MW both these were prone to huge reception difficulties depending on the time of day.

I am sure I am not the only one to listen to Luxenbourg with a tranny under my pillow and hear it constantly fading in and out.

So this is the difference..AM ...at the time available to a HUGE audience but rubbish quality....FM superb non fade ...and the previosly unheard of STEREO...all this is Grandad Speak to most in a DAB audio age!

So anyway ...this is what an AM radio set is like...it works... and is ok if you want a pile of old technology..FM is not new ...I have a Skyleader FM radio set I use im my model aircraft that is 22 years old, and i will bet the technology in RC is older than that!

I would advise against any AM set in Roboteering...even for ants.
