newbie: confised about scanner terms
 

Hi, I'm trying to get to grips with the AR8200 MkII I bought....
what do the following terms mean?
WFM, NFM, SFM, WAM, AM, NAM, USB, LSB, CW
I tried googling but couldn't find any simple definitions.

W means wide band, like WFM=wide band FM. WAM=wide band AM

N means narrow band, like NFM= narrow band FM, and NAM= narrow band AM

USB= Upper side band, and LSB= Lower side band, and CW= Continuous Wave used
in moris code (like Hams do)

assuming you already know the difference in Am (amplitude modulation) and FM
(frequency modulation)

OK I misspelled it. It's Morse code.

Don't you mean MORSE code?? Or perhaps you were referring to MORRIS the
CAT??

Yeah, good ol' Samuel Moris.... Where would we be without him?? :-)
