Best Answer

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.

What radio operates the frequencies of 3000 kHz and 30 MHz?

microwaveI am sorry, but the above answer of "microwave" is dead wrong! 3000 Khz = 3Mhz. 3-30 Mhz is called the HF frequency band. 3-30 Ghz (1000 times higher) is the microwave band.A lot of the worldwide Amateur "Ham" Radio bands are located on 3-30Mhz. All of the "shortwave" radio stations. The US Bureau of Standards operates on EXACT frequencies of 5.000000, 10.000000, and 20.000000 - these are also the EXACT TIME beacons that many clocks synchronize to*. There are radio beacons, jamming signals from third world countries, military radio, RTTY (basically "fax" by radio), weather satellites, CB radio, Radio Control frequencies (for RC controlled cars, planes, boats), diathermy machines (used in doctors offices), and the HAARP project in Alaska which is "supposedly" for Auroral research.*The "atomic clocks" and watches that most consumers can buy are synced to this same WWV source, but operate at 60 Khz (or 60,000 hertz). 10Khz is about the "basement" of the radio frequency bands.
