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.
