Question for those who understand these things: Why can I pick up FM radio on an AM airplane radio?
I used to have a plane. It had an old VOR received in it that would pick up and play "Kiss 108" (WXKS - 107.9). 108.00 was the lowest setting on that radio, and I could listen to the radio on that. I don't understand why.
As far as I know, aircraft use AM radio. The VOR receiver also (according to wikipedia) also uses AM for voice.
So how could I listen to 107.9 on an AM radio?
