Default channels and FM/AM?

might sound stupid, but here goes...

if one guy is on an AM radio 75mhz, channel 74.......

would i be able to use an FM radio, 75 mhz, channel 74?


i know there alot of other frequencies, but i'm just trying to learn anyway.


i just bought the Futaba 3PM FM 75mhz. i'd like to keep my 74 cuz nobody ever seems to have it. check out the futaba bag i bought for it.

I think its ok. Because FM frequency will overide the AM frequency. Correct me if im wrong

neither will override the other. given two radios on the same channel, one am, one fm, the fm stands a better chance of not suffering interference, but they certainly will interfere with each other. a frequency is a frequency, doesn't matter what you do with it.

If both are on the same channel, both of them will be unsuable. You will not be able to control either of them, regaurdless of the type.

You will get interference.

I tested the same thing not long ago. I had my FM JR XS3 on ch70 and my AM Futaba RTR radio on Channel 70.
My JR was unaffected, it worked fine, but the AM radio was unusable.
