What you are not understanding is that no matter what the MODE
(AM/FM/LSB/USB/CW) is, the transmit FREQUENCY does NOT change.


Why on car radio and home stereo, me push AM, me get one set of frequency,
and then when push FM, me get another set of frequency?

Me not know why. Me not understand.

Thanks everyone for your input. I understand now. Thanks for the links
guys. Its good to know I am surrounded by people who came out of the
womb knowing all that is radio. Its a good thing yall never had newbie
questions, because there may not have been anyone around to insult you.
Seriously thanks to those who explaned it to me and I will read up on
it some more.
Bo

they know illegal radio so well because they are all gayboys who use
the "extra" illegal channels to hook up. In between money making stints
in Petro toilets, that is.

I get the impression that this may have been a Troll post, but it really is a valid point.

It is far too common to refer to a broadcast band by the modulation method used rather than the
band of frequencies used. Here in the UK we refer to those radio broadcast bands as "MW"
(Medium Wave) and "VHF" (Very High Frequency). These bands are also commonly referred to as
"AM" and "FM" simply because the MW band uses Amplitude Modulation and the VHF band uses
Frequency Modulation.
We also have a band called "LW" (Long Wave), which also uses AM.

Regardless of the wave length, you can transmit an AM, FM, SSB or CW signal.
MW, LW and VHF are just different frequencies.

As long as the law permits it :~)

Our MW and LW bands are both used with AM, our VHF band uses FM. Technically it is possible to
use any mode on the frequencies, but not legally.
Because such bands are always used with AM or FM, they often get referred to by the mode
used... which can be misleading.

Bands of frequencies.
I don't know how many people in the UK still listen to MW or LW when VHF
broadcasts, using FM, provide much clearer audio and stereo broadcasts.

We are only allowed AM and SSB on 11 meters in the US, but many so called
export radios have FM though rarely used and cw mode for the supposed 10
meter radios that hams would never buy and easily convert to cover 10, 11,
and 12 meters.

I worded it wrong, but thats what I meant to say.

There are always holdouts on dying modes of communications. The "CW vs. no
CW test" war is raging on in the US as an example.

We have FM, it's all we are allowed.
America will not make FM legal and we will not make AM legal.

So, where does that leave the "illegal CB causes interference" argument?
Simple, AM and SSB must cause interference because they are illegal here, and FM must cause
interference because it is illegal in America.
And, as America have a distance rule, once you reply to someone beyond that distance, you will
start to cause interference.

The answer is simple... as illegal CB causes interference, make it all legal so it will not
cause interference :~)

You mean like America still using AM CB?
