      @norgeyu 5 месяцев назад +29

      Because they are still using AM (amplitude modulation), the same one you can here on old radio stations, 530-1600Khz. The problem is, you have to change all the radios in planes and on the ground, to much money... From February 2024, Serbia will start using CPDLC (look it up), it will be much safer and with less mistakes.

    • @laulpoecken
      @laulpoecken 5 месяцев назад +35

      Because it is still the most reliable communication method and just works well enough. There just aren't any other practical systems yet that are reaching the same saftey/reliability standards that the good old VHF radios have.
      Also, in real life audio quality is often better than on these recordings.

    • @macnlz
      @macnlz 5 месяцев назад +3

      I understand that AM is superior to FM for these types of communication, because it’s easier to tell when you’re getting stepped on (with FM, the strongest signal just “captures” the band)… but what about digital solutions? Nothing yet?

    • @terryhayward7905
      @terryhayward7905 5 месяцев назад +7

      The big problem with FM is the capture effect, if 2 transmit at the same time, the strongest one wins, and you have no idea that a weaker radio is trying to call in, AM is a lot safer in that way.

    • @philtll
