Question B-003-013-009

Why isn't frequency modulated (FM) phone used below 28.0 MHz?

Correct Answer

The bandwidth would exceed limits in the Regulations

Explanation

Standard FM voice requires significant bandwidth (~16 kHz), which is far too wide for the narrower channel allocations and bandwidth limits (typically 6 kHz) on the HF bands below 10 meters.
