Ok, great thread and to some degree, educational. While I have absolutely no
technical background on this subject, I have been the victim of a very
expensive and unavoidable, on my part, "shoot down". I basically considered it
a "swamping" incident, another term for you experts to butcher. Th

Hmm. Of course this is true when all are speaking in the same
frequency range. But how about if all the other conversations are
being held above 20khz or below 20hz??
Does sheer power on other frequencies swamp the front end of a

A PCM signal is no better than PPM. The only benefit would have been if the
PCM Rx went into fail safe. Obviously could have been quite helpful. If it
did go into failsafe.

Yes, whispered voices aren't the best analogy, as they a

This is where the magic of the newer receivers comes into play. Like any
other radio they also have a

For desense to occur, the signals don't even have to be in the same
band. For example, in my car the FM radio (88-108 MHz) signal gets
noticibly quieter when I transmit on my 144 MHZ ham radio.
Same thing happens in my
