The only way your radio has of separating one station out of the pile, and letting you

listen to the one single station you want to hear, is by frequency.

If two stations are on the same frequency, then your radio hears them both

when it's tuned to that frequency. If there are 100 of them, you hear all 100.

The result of that is . . . well, just listen to CB some time.

When you listen to a radio why are you able to hear only one station at a time rather then all stations at once?

Because different radio stations broadcast at different frequencies, and the radio tuner lets you decide which frequencies to listen to. Radio station owners have to buy the rights to use a particular frequency within a particular area. When you are driving sometimes you will hear two stations overlapping as you move out of the range of one station and into the range of another that is broadcasting on the same frequency.


Why does every radio station have a different carrier frequency?

That's not exactly true. Any frequency you choose has several radio stations on it,but just not in the same city.Frequency is what your radio uses to separate the individual stations. If two stationsin the same city transmitted on the same frequency, your radio couldn't separate them.When you tuned to that frequency, you'd hear both of them at the same time, and youcouldn't understand either one.Listen to the 27 MHz 'Citizen's Band' some time.


Why doesn't Digital radio hold station?

What are three common examples of frequency division multiplexing?

AM radio broadcasting uses frequency division multiplexing to allocate different frequencies to different radio stations.
