Best Answer

Amateur short-wave radio operators (often called "ham radio") must be licensed before they can begin broadcasting. Broadcasting equipment ranges in size and price from a few hundred to several thousands of dollars. Larger "sets" are generally the most expensive and most powerful. RadioShack is actually a very good plae to learn more about all of these devices, as that is why they got started. Listening to shortwave broadcasts can be done very easily and with simple and relatively inexpensive equipment.

How do you build a cb radio?

There's a simple, direct, short answer to that question: A CB operator is not legally allowed to operate a CB radio that is home-built, modified, adjusted, or tinkered with in any way. Only equipment in its factory- direct condition. And I would add: Most especially anybody whose expertise is at the stage where he could ask a question like that.

What are Short circuit operators in c language?

&& and are short circuit operator in C. It means that expressions chained with these operators are only evaluated until the result is unambiguously determined. For example, the expression a && b is guaranteed to be false if a is false. In this case, the term b is not evaluated, and any possible side-effects of b will not occur. The logical OR () is implemented in a similar fashion: c d is guaranteed to be true of c evaluates to true, and d is not being evaluated in this case. The ternary ? operator is not a short circuit operator (this was listed as a short-circuit operator in a previous revision of this answer). An expression that uses the ternary operator, for example e = f ? g : h is nothing but an alternative form of an if-else construct. The terms f, g and h may each contain short-circuit operators and be evaluated in the manner discussed above, but the ternary operator itself has no short-circuit characteristic.


What logical operator perform short-circuit evaluation?

In many languages both AND and OR operators perform short-circuit evaluation.
