AM holds other advantages over FM, as well. No capture effect, so it's easier to tell if another station was transmitting at the same time. And it wouldn't just be the FAA's radios that would have to be replaced. No payback for such a change.

Someone once called that was Ancient Modulation. :) I suspect that in a few years fluorescent lamps will give way to LED technology. As a side note, do LED lamps create EMI concerns? -----Original Message----- From: Richard Nute [mailto:ri...@ieee.org] Sent: Wednesday, June 04, 2014 11:02 AM To: EMC-PSTC@LISTSERV.IEEE.ORG Subject: Re: [PSES] radiated emissions testing may understate actual emissions, an example using a class D stereo amp On 6/4/2014 9:47 AM, Mike Violette wrote: "Class B limits are amazingly conservative, to which large populations of devices ascribe." Try using an ordinary AM radio beside a compact fluorescent lamp as on a beside table. - ---------------------------------------------------------------- This message is from the IEEE Product Safety Engineering Society emc-pstc discussion list.
