Default Receiving Pulse-Code Modulation on AM radio at 3 Mhz?

What is FEC?


Forward Error Correction. Google it :-)

Isn't 3 Mhz enough to transmit a data rate of 1.06 mbps?


Yes - but the chipsets to compress the digitised audio are much cheaper
than the notional value of the bandwidth you would be trashing with
your 24bit PCM.
