What is the least listened to FM radio station?

In the US, the commercial FM (broadcast) band nominally begins at 88 MHz. 87.9 was allocated, but only for some low-power "Class D" stations because it's virtually right on top of the aural carrier of the analog-TV Channel 6. The lowest carrier frequency normally assigned to an FM broadcast station in the US is 88.1 MHz.


Rm radio frequency?

The commercial AM broadcast band is 0.55 to 1.6 megahertz, with channels spaced 0.01 megahertz. The commercial FM broadcast band is 88.1 to 107.9 megahertz, with channels spaced 0.2 megahertz. Had the questioner proofread his question, we might have known which one he had in mind.

Full form of FM?

FM broadcasting is a broadcast technology invented by Edwin Armstrong that used Frequency Modulation (FM) to provide high fidelity sound over broadcast radio


Which type of wave has a larger wavelength FM radio or AM radio?

There's no difference between a frequency-modulated wave and an amplitude-modulated wave. Either kind can be generated and transmitted with any wavelength you want. In the USA, however, AM broadcast stations are licensed to operate only in the band 550-1700 KHz, and FM broadcast stations are licensed to operate only in the band 88-108 MHz. So for ordinary programs that you listen to on an ordinary radio, the AM stations all have longer wavelengths than the FM stations have.

What wave has a shorter wavelength AM or FM?

Generally, the wavelength of an FM signal is shorter than an AM signal. A typical FM broadcast band is 88-108 MHz, while a typical AM broadcast band is 540-1660 KHz, making the FM signal wavelength 100 times shorter.

Can military radios broadcast signals that household radios can pick up on FM?

They could if they wanted to. But if they have military-type information to swap, thenthey really have no desire to do it in the FM commercial broadcast band at frequenciesbetween 88 and 108 MHz, where household radios are equipped to receive.


define medium (in regard to waves)?

Medium wave is the part of the medium frequency (MF) radio band used mainly for AM radio broadcasting. The spectrum provides about 120 channels with more limited sound quality than FM stations on the FM broadcast band.
