Default Why don't voice radio communications use FM?

Yes. So?


Um... no! The compass does not "briefly tend to continue moving after a
turn" but it has a well defined turn error, which should more accurately
be called bank error. If you understand this error, you can tell your
heading at each moment during the whole turn.
