- Au Contraire. Fm is a better mode in that it has superior interference
- rejection capabilities. In an area of high interference an FM walkie talkie
- would be preferable to an AM W.T of equal power. True, modulation does not
- affect range however it does result in greater or lesser interference
- rejection.
-
- But I digress, no-one has still adequately answered my question. If, say I
- hooked up a 49 Mhz walkie talkie to a resonant antenna without otherwise
- modifying the radio except to feed in a packet signal, and then transmitted my
- packet siganl at the (admittedly) lower power... would this be legal?
