[Milsurplus] Radio pic and early FM

[Mike Feher]

Besides, where would the Germans really need backpacks or FM? They did not
do well on the Russian front and there was not that much action in North
Africa. We on the other hand fought in the jungles on the islands in the
Pacific, where it made more sense to have something like a SCR300/BC1000. -

Wow, pretty bold statement and I am not trying to be a dick or anything but
the concept of FM was developed by maybe the greatest radio engineer ever
Edwin Armstrong in 1933, the first commercial broadcasting station W2XMN
went on the air in 1936 and Armstrong's early test with the New Jersey State
police and FM radios so impressed the Signal Corps that they were early
adopters of FM in military communications.

The SCR-522 is about as AM as they come, FM is so much better in military
mobile communications that the rest of the world followed post war. Civil
and Military aviation somehow missed the boat and struggled with AM forever.
Or at least now is being replaced by digital.

Googol Armstrong and do some studying!
