AM broadcasting uses vertically polarised waves which propagate via the ground-wave, along the ground.

The rate at which the signal decreases with distance depends mainly on the electrical conductivity of the ground. Lower frequencies decay at a lower rate and travel further than higher frequencies.

Ground waves propagate to large distances over sea-water which is highly conductive, for example about 40 miles at 27 MHz and further at lower frequencies. Over typical grassland the range of a 2 kW AM transmitter is 20-30 miles on medium-wave frequencies around 1 MHz.

How do you use the tune in phonetic?

To tune in phonetic tuning, you adjust the frequency of a radio receiver to the specific frequency that a broadcast is transmitting on. This ensures that you can accurately receive and listen to the broadcast signal. It's commonly used for radio stations or communication devices that operate on specific frequencies.

Does a wireless router broadcast or transmit radio waves when no computers are connected or does a router wait for a signal from the computers wireless adaptor before transmitting and radio waves?

It has to always be broadcasting radio waves otherwise no devices will ever find the router.
