Abstract

An apparatus and method reducing interference between multiple frequency modulated, FM, voice transmissions present in the same frequency bandwidth by receiving a radio signal which includes a first FM voice signal to be demodulated along with one or more additional FM voice signals which are present within a modulation bandwidth of the first FM voice signal, detecting the presence of a carrier frequency signal of the first FM signal and determining a lack of modulation of the detected carrier frequency signal by a voice signal, and squelching the received signal when the carrier signal is unmodulated.
