rbertalotto Posted October 11, 2023 Author Report Share Posted October 11, 2023 Since it is relatively new, I'm betting there are not many units out there. Are the FM channels different from the AM channels? If on scan, will a radio scan both AM and FM channels?

TXiceman Posted October 11, 2023 Report Share Posted October 11, 2023 As far as I know, the AM and Fm use the same channel frequencies. The difference is the way the signal is transmitted, AM is amplitude modulated the FM is frequency modulated. AM tends to be noisier, and FM tends to be less noisy. An AM signal will carry farther than an FM signal.

kb0zke Posted November 30, 2023 Report Share Posted November 30, 2023 I'll be buying a CB radio in the near future, and I'll probably get one that has both AM and FM. I think I'd like to get one with upper and lower sideband, too, but I'm not sure that such an animal exists. In the meantime I have a 2 meter ht in the truck whenever we go anywhere.
