I gotcha man.


I was just giving you a hard time.


"Broadcast" VHF FM (88.5-108 MHz) in the US sounds so much better in part because of the audio bandwidth with which it is allowed by rule to be modulated (deviated). 30 Hz to 15 kHz.  This is, again partly, the reason FM Stereo Broadcast "Channels" are "so far" apart from one another, e.g. 100 KHz.


"Broadcast" Medium Wave AM in the US: 520 kHz–1,610 kHz  10 KHz "channel" spacing.  Allowed modulated audio is "limited to 10.2 kHz by an NRSC standard adopted by the FCC in June of 1989"   See also shit-E® brand analog sound.


Now try to get high fidelity on a Communications Device (such as CB), where the the modulating (or deviating) audio is essentially limited from 300-3000 Hz.  Hmm, not sounding so good, is it?
