Nice catch, the use of FM for land mobile comms by most of the Latin American LMR users is uncommon...at least below 30 MHz. 

Usually its AM mode, and 26.5 MHz 26.500 MHz is an interesting frequency choice too.  26.500 MHz FM vs. say 26.495 MHz AM or 26.505 MHz AM. 

U.S. East Coast, various HF/VHF/UHF radios/transceivers/scanners/receivers - land mobile system operator - focus on VHF/UHF and 11m
