Any new committee, commission, council, authority, or agency that was handed the

job of creating a system and procedure, in place of the FCC, for allocating frequencies

to all the radio services that need and want them, would begin in total chaos. After

years spent inventing some sort of device that could function acceptably as a wheel,

adjusting, modifying, revising, litigating, defending, streamlining, and tweaking its

system, it would eventually arrive at a system identical to the one that's in place today.

That's my opinion. I could be wrong.

What organization regulates the radio frequencies that CAP uses?

The organization that regulates radio frequencies in the United States, which would include those used by the Civil Air Patrol (CAP), is the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). The FCC manages the allocation of radio spectrum to ensure that communications are efficient and interference-free. In other countries, similar regulatory bodies exist to oversee radio frequency use.


What is the wavelength range for the FM radio band (88MHz-108MHz)?

That's the frequency band that international telecommunications meetings and the FCC decided to allocate to FM broadcast. As a result of that decision, all FM broadcast stations in the US have carrier frequencies in that range. If they applied for a license to broadcast on a frequency outside of that range, it wasn't granted, and they soon got the idea. The manufacturers of radios, being a pretty smart bunch, realized right away that if all of the FM broadcast stations were on frequencies in that range, then they'd be smart to build their products with the ability to receive FM broadcast in that range. If you play around with a receiver that can receive frequencies outside that range, you'll hear TV channel 6 between 82-88 MHz, and aircraft navigation and communication above 110 MHz.


What is the typical wavelength of a radio?

That would be hard to answer, especially without a definition of "typical".We presently generate and detect radio signals, for communication and variousother applications, over a range of frequencies of perhaps 50 KHz to 300 GHz,corresponding to wavelengths between 1 millimeter and 6 kilometers.


Can you use a radio scanner antenna for receiving HDTV?

yes umm you have too hook the antenna to the hole ane wrap the copper wire around it-------------------------------------------------------- It would work OK for FM radio frequencies (88-108 Mhz) in metropolitan areas, but poorly for AM radio which is 535-1600 Khz

What questions can be asked about a homemade radio?

Typical questions would be about the range and the components used, as well as what frequencies it is designed to receive.


At what frequency does SETI listen at?

SETI listens to frequencies between 1420 (the Hydrogen molecule) and 1662 (the hydroxyl molecule). This is to say that an intelligent civilization would recognize these frequencies and would probably be monitoring them a well. The cosmos is full of these frequencies and a slight deviation in the regular pulsing of these frequencies would be noticed by anyone who is scanning the skies. Hope this helps. Sam Farina III

What is RF selector switch?

RF refers to 'radio frequency'. A selector switch would select a different range of radio frequencies at each of its positions. RF selector switches would be found on short wave receivers and transmitters.


Which frequencies are easy to listen in English?

Frequencies around 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz are commonly used for Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and other wireless communication technologies in English-speaking countries. AM and FM radio frequencies are also widely available for listening to English language broadcasts.


Why dont broadcast stations transmit at audio frequencies?

1) If information was transmitted at audio frequencies, then you would actually hear the signal. This would be identical to a speaker playing a song on your stereo. 2) Audio frequencies, in the world of radio frequencies, are long wave-length, low energy signals that can't travel long distances. Again, that's why you can only hear someone's stereo from within eyesight of the system. Human ears can detect from about 3Hz up to around 20KHz (some better than others). 3) True radio frequencies start at in the 100Khz range. This is your most basic radio that uses amplitude modulation (aka AM radio). Many people today that listen to the radio listen to frequency modulated (FM) stations. The difference between AM and FM is beyond the scope of the answer to this question. Being a higher frequency, the signals have more energy and can travel farther distances than audible frequencies. 4) Audible frequencies (sounds the human ear can pick up) can only "transmit" amplitude (loudness or volume) and frequency (high or low pitch). However, higher frequencies, such as those used for radio, can carry much more information than the volume and pitch of a signal. This is a direct result of radio frequencies being harmonics (integer multiples) of audible signals. For instance, if a radio signal has a frequency 20 times higher than the audio signal it is transmitting, then that radio signal can not only carry the audio signal, it can also carry other information, such as information about the broadcast station. A radio signal can "encode" information within the signal allowing more information to be carried than just the audio signal itself.


Why do you need a carrier wave?

In radio transmission, you could theoretically transmit radio signals at audio frequencies. However, because the wavelength of electromagnetism at audio-like frequencies is Huge and the frequency of a radio transmitter dictates the size of the antenna and the power requirement, you would need A Very Big Antenna and a Very Big Power Supply to do this. So, we've learned to transmit at higher "carrier" frequencies, modulating either the amplitude or frequency of the carrier signal with our audio and subtracting the carrier at the receiver end.


Long wavelength and a low frequency is what type of radiation?

This type of radiation would be classified as radio waves. Radio waves have long wavelengths and low frequencies, making them suitable for communication and broadcasting purposes.


Why couldn't Cuba have cell phones until 2008?

It's possible that the radio frequencies used for mobile phones - were already in use in Cuba. The delay in introducing any service would be dependent on how quickly they could move other users to alternative frequencies.


All of the frequencies or wavelengths of electromagnetic radiation make up the electromagnetic?

spectrum. This spectrum encompasses a wide range of frequencies and wavelengths, from radio waves to gamma rays. Each type of radiation has unique properties and uses in various fields such as communication, medicine, and astronomy.


How you allocate the memory in java?

In Java we need not allocate memory manually. The JVM would take care of allocating as much memory that your objects would require automatically.

Infrared is directly below, next is x-ray, next is radio.
