(luckely most modern cb radios have both frequencies) so choosing one these days is not such issue but knowing difference always come handy. FM radio works the equal way that AM radio works. The distinction is in how the service wave is modulated, or altered. With AM radio, the amplitude, or usual strength, of the sign is diverse to comprise the sound information. (difference in radio wave length,pic. source google) So is FM better than AM ?well maybe... In addition FM waves supply higher sound reproduction. With an FM broadcast, moderate modifications in amplitude do not count at all -- because the audio sign is conveyed thru modifications in frequency, the FM receiver can simply skip modifications in amplitude. The result: higher sound reproduction. So why would you want to use AM radio ?(if you find some vintage one). Compared to FM or digital transmissions, AM t...
