[Elecraft] OT: AM mode

[Ken G Kopp]

VHF/UHF aircraft radio has always been AM, and is likely / certain
continue to be.  Why?  It's used world wide and discussions about
changing it to FM have continued for years.  The conclusion seems
to be that there is simply too much usage worldwide and little reason
to make the change.  The cost to change to another mode would be
horrendous!  Of course manufacturers would -love- to see the change.

There is usage of SSB on HF primarily ... but it's still "AM". (;-)
