Default FM!

A guy at my lhs explained it to me this way: Have you ever listened to your car radio on AM? The range is pretty good but not always very clear. If you're next to a big rig or go under an overpass, most likely the signal will be fuzzy. This doesn't happen as much with FM channels...?
I know there's more to it than that comparison. I never had any problems with 27mhz AM however 75mhz AM always seems to have some sort of glitching problems at the local races. Not many people use the 75mhz AM and I'm sure there's a good reason why. I've NEVER had any problems with 75mhz FM
my 2 cents
