AM can, indeed, be improved considerably. But nowhere near the quality of a high-level AM modulated radio such as a Cobra 29 or Cobra 148. If you want to talk on a CB, buy a CB.

And for what purpose? Personally, I think it should have stopped at 800 MHz Analog Trunked. EVERYONE has the right to hear what the police are doing on their radio. Who is going to police the police? <-- That's rather timely, no?
Even with all these whiz-bang digitally encrypted systems, the...
