[BC] AM Fidelity vs FM fidelity

[RichardBJohnson at comcast.net]

No it is not!
My statement, as was Kahn's, was about Amplitude Modulation. It was not about a particular implementation and was, in fact, the reason why I spent so much time, effort, and money perfecting a specific implementation. It is repeated here:

"In fact, amplitude modulation has the capability of better fidelity than FM because all of its bandwidth is available for audio."

Learn something about Amplitude Modulation before you contradict experts:

The statement is delusional. The only way it can be valid is in an anechoic chamber with an infinitely wide band transmitter driving a dummy load. Real world issues of noise an interference not to mention the limitations of real transmitters and antenna make wide band AM impossible.
