United States gets FM CB Radio (After 63 Years!)

 

It's only taken 63 years but it looks like Frequency Modulation is coming the USA!

Currently AM and SSB modes are legal on the mid band 26.965 - 27.405, however documents recently published on the FCC website show that Cobra's 2017 petition to allow CB radio users to have FM has been successful:

CB radio equipment will still be required to operate on AM but will soon have the option to include FM if a manufacturer so wishes. 

Of course, it remains to be seen if American operators embrace FM as an operating mode but I'm sure many people will welcome this long overdue decision.
