Just enough to have the bandwidth of AM without the second order
modulation products. Sounds super copied exalted carrier on a SSB radio.
Used to do that on the bottom of 2m. Also tends to prevent AM detection
TVI. And its still legal on HF ham bands. As the FM modes split channels
and get narrower on 2m, those that talk softly "to save the finals"
don't deviate as much as we did on NBFM.
