Well it might interest you to know that some of the encoding methods used at these lower frequencies can be used on the higher ones, too.

For example, Olivia MFSK, which can be copied even when buried 10dB under the noise floor!

Soundcloud is pretty popular, though some of the processing they do murders a few styles violently.

And yet there's any difference if it the D/Rs were reversed?

I think you're confusing training with desensitization.

I won't say it's not, because it is - but there is a difference between violence acted in offense vs defense.

Is the latter really so bad?

True, but I was suggesting that rampant Binging is like rabies :)

I meant you could have trimmed that off as you posted it :P

But I've seen far worse, so whatever!

There is no cure. We have to shoot you, just to be sure.

You are a shill. Your purpose is to serve as fuel for an exothermic chemical reaction. Please go die in such an exothermic reaction - it is your destiny.

What does that even mean?

If you'll read my post a little more clearly, it's the noise-cancelling aspect that I personally find interesting.

Good information, but keep the snark turned off.

Well basically when you modulate a carrier (AM is modulating the amplitude of the carrier with the data signal) half the energy ends up in the carrier signal, and the other half gets split up between to sidebands that sit to either side of the carrier on the spectrum. The sidebands are mirror-images of each other.

There's techniques to suppress them (meaning you don't waste half your transmission energy on redundant signal) but broadcast AM/FM radio doesn't utilize it. Other advantages mean a more efficient use of the spectrum (ie, a whole other signal can sit where the other sideband used to be).

This article should lead you down the rabbit hole ;)

Interestingly, if you use that modulation mode specifically (AM, single sideband suppressed carrier) and tune the oscillator a hair off the mark, you sound just like the X-Wing pilots in the original Star Wars movie...

Mmm true - or even just use a consistent "rotation" to do it, in that the rotation is a waveform itself that the other end can sync to - then there's no negotiation to be worried about!

Or you can send bursts of a signal (along with such a scheme or just periodically) and the other end can know what was sent (prearranged?) and with some simple subtraction it has a noise profile

Sorry. I enjoy thinking about this kind of thing. Can you see the sidebands around the AM tower as well? Or is the resolution not good enough to differentiate it from the carrier?

Nope. The most useful thing they have ever done for me is serve as kindling.

By the time I began to care about what was going on in the world, the internet was already well on it's way to murdering newspaper.
