Hi there.
There are modes and there are bands. Modes are WFM, FM and AM and set how the receiver should decode the signal. Certain bands have modes that are normally used in that band - so AM in the aircraft band, WFM for FM broadcast. VHF and UHF bands, broadly, are FM/NFM.
Gavin.

Re: RIP FranScan

Re: Setting up streaming
It's pretty easy. There's two main components: 1. A Radio along with a good quality antenna. You can use a RTL dongle using RTL-SDR, which is cheaper, but the set up is a little fiddlier. 2. A computer running streaming software. Broadcastify.com is the go-to destination for the stream, and they hav...

WA Emergency Radio Network.

Re: FESA frequencies
RX is received frequency. CTCSS, if your scanner supports it, is a way to help block noisy, invalid signals from opening up the squelch. Especially important on mid-band VHF.
