CORRECT
IF YOU PUT THE FM SIGNAL ON THE UP OR DOWN SIDE OF THE IF SLOPE AKA OFF TUNED YOU WILL HEAR NARROW BAND FM. If you dont beleve me try it.
IF you tune a fm signal in on a am radio the fm audio will drop to almost nothing. |

It works because the FM signal is devating away from the point your tuned to and its voltage changes as it moves up and down the if slope.... and as far as the radio sees a changing voltage is a AM signal ........ |
