Phones should have FM radio again

Radio access could be a critical safety feature in the years ahead.

I didn’t even realize Qualcomm removed the built in FM radio from their chips. Huh.

    It’s not that straight forward. And in a practical sense 162MHz is hardly significantly higher than 100MHz.

      Apologies, I accidentally missed off the end of the quote, the bit I was commenting on:

      The signals are broadcasted on 162.400 – 162.550 MHz, above the FM band, allowing the signals to travel much farther than regular radio or cell networks.

      I agree that it isn’t much different. However it is objectively worse than regular FM radio, not better as the article claimed.
