No, a radio cannot detect radioactivity. A radio is called a radio because of the radio waves that it operates on.

How can you interfere with the cb radio next door when it is driving you mad?

Jamming CB RadiosCB radios are AM radios that operate in a very narrow band: 26.965 to 27.405 MHz. Because they are amplitude modulated, it's possible to interfere -- or "jam" -- them with just about anything that generates broadband noise in their 440 KHz range. Doing so purposely, however, is a violation of federal law. it is also a violation of federal law for a CB radio to interfere with other electronics


What are uses for radio waves?

Regular household AM radios pick up stations on frequencies between 550 KHz to 1.7 MHz . . . wavelengths between 176 meters and 545 meters. Regular FM radios pick up stations on frequencies between 88 MHz and 108 MHz . . . wavelengths between 2.8 meters and 3.4 meters. 'Short wave' radios, taxi radios, police radios, CB radios, firetruck radios, aircraft radios, weather radios, satellite radios, toy walkie-talkie radios, cellphone radios, computer WiFi radios, cordless telephone radios, garage door opener radios, Bluetooth radios, 4G iPad radios, and microwave oven radio transmitters all have their own separate frequencies/wavelengths that they operate on, so that they don't all interfere with each other.


Can 400 megahertz radios interfere with proper x26 operation?

Yes, 400 megahertz radios can potentially interfere with the operation of the X26 Taser, as both operate in the electromagnetic spectrum close to each other. The X26 Taser is designed to function without interference, but external radio signals can cause disruptions if they are strong enough or if the devices are in close proximity. It’s important for users to be aware of their surroundings and to avoid using radios while deploying the Taser to ensure safe and effective operation.
