Going Digital on AM Radio

seems like not only are we experiencing the digital revolution (think Fusion, D-Star, DMR, even FT8 and the like,) also now the FCC is helping to allow some more digital to become available on AM radio – read a piece by Paul McLane in last week’s RADIOWORLD – one day (soon) you may hear those funny buzz saw sounds of digital coming from your old car radio. Kinda like hearing fusion on a repeater with an old analog FM radio – yes, the days keep changing, and that is good! https://www.radioworld.com/tech-and-gear/digital-radio/fcc-officially-proposes-to-allow-all-digital-on-u-s-am-band
