- LesZedCB 10y agoAFAIK that's why aircraft still use AM. Unless I'm wrong about aircraft still using AM too. :)
- sevensor 10y agoInteresting, did not know that. Just looked it up on Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Airband#Modulation https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Airband#Modulation > Besides being simple, power-efficient and compatible with legacy equipment, AM and SSB permit stronger stations to override weaker or interfering stations. Additionally, this method does not suffer from the capture effect found in FM. Even if a pilot is transmitting, a control tower can "talk over" that transmission and other aircraft will hear a somewhat garbled mixture of both transmissions, rather than just one or the othe
