Normally 39.560MHz would be FM mode, and 123.000MHz would be AM mode. What
are you hearing on 123.000MHz?

Hello:

new at his.

Found the following freq's that apparently my town utilizes.

Are the modes fm for Both, or... ?

39.560 MHz
123.000

The 123.0 one is particularly perplexing for me, as I thought that puts it
in the middle of the AM band,
which I always thought would be just for aero. Would a Town service use
AM rather than fm ? Why, if so ?

Thanks,
B.

Hi Bill:

Frankly mainly noise, but occasionally some garbled conv. irrespective of
whether I have fm or AM set.

Guess I'll just forget about it.
Was only curious.

Thanks for help, and all the past help.

Bob

123.0 suggests that it is somewhat airport/aviation related and should be
AM. If You can`t get a clear signal, it also could be something else, like
a tv or radio station ... over here at EDS I sometimes hear a radio
transmission that gets over the tower freq (depending on the weather and
where I am located).

Talk to You later ... Hans from Germany
