While both use high frequencies that are line of sight range only, the cellphone connects to a cellular network of transceiver antenna towers that are interconnected (via either landlines or microwave links) permitting cellphones at practically unlimited distances to communicate. VHF radios can only communicate when they can "see" each other (or both can "see" the same VHF repeater).
What else can I help you with?
Is the spectrum of an element limited to the visible region of the electromagnetic spectrum?
No. The emission and absorption spectrum covers everything from UHF radio to X-rays. (There are no energy level transitions that correspond to the low energy HF or VHF radio bands and below. The lowest-energy transition is the one at 1420 MHz/21 cm.)
Which waveband carries more information hf or vhf?
In general, VHF carries more information than HF due to its higher frequency range and larger bandwidth. VHF waves are able to transmit more data and provide clearer reception, making it a preferred choice for many communication applications.
Weather forecasts particularly on the water can change quickly. What is the best method to monitor the weather while out on the water?
The best method to monitor the weather while out on the water is to use a combination of a marine VHF radio and a reliable weather app on a mobile device. The marine VHF radio allows you to receive real-time updates and alerts from the National Weather Service, while a weather app can provide detailed forecasts and radar images. Additionally, keeping an eye on the sky for changing conditions and having a plan for safe exit in case of sudden weather changes is essential. Always ensure that your devices are charged and have backup communication methods available.
What are 3 forms of Electromagnetic Radiation with a wavelength greater than visible light?
Infrared is one, radio waves are another and many include microwaves as a third but microwaves are used for communications and are a form of radio wave. Wavelengths between radio waves and infrared are called TeraHertz radiation. Radio waves start at very long wavelengths LF or low frequency defined as 30kHz to 300kHz, MF or medium frequency from 300kHz to 3MHz, HF or high frequency from 3MHz to 30MHz, VHF or very high frequency from 30MHz to 300MHz, UHF or ultra high frequency from 300MHz to 3GHz and SHF from 3GHz to 30GHz. After that they are normally just called microwaves. Many microwave ovens operate near 2.4GHz which is only UHF.
What type of electromagnetic wave has a wavelength roughly equal to the height of a person?
Radio waves have wavelengths that can vary from hundreds of meters to as small as a few millimeters. For a typical adult human, who is around 1.7 meters tall, the closest match in terms of wavelength would likely be in the lower frequency range of radio waves, such as Medium Frequency (MF) or Long Wave (LW) radio waves.
What is the history of VHF radio?
history of vhf radio
How do you receive vhf?
You need a VHF radio antenna, a VHF radio receiver and of course a station broadcasting on the VHF frequency.
Harris vhf radio can communicate with prc77 radio?
The PRC77 radio operates on 30.000 to 75.95 MHz. If the Harris radio operates on any of the same frequencies (I know you said it's VHF, but VHF covers 30 to 300 MHz), then it can.
What is the maximum range for a VHF radio?
VHF is in the range 30 to 300 MHz.
Why is the Height of VHF radio important?
Because VHF signals have a line of sight limitation.
Is a VHF radio required while operating a motorboat in Virginia?
In Virginia, a VHF radio is not strictly required for operating a motorboat; however, it is recommended for safety, especially for vessels traveling in coastal or navigable waters. Federal regulations mandate that certain vessels, such as those over 65 feet, must have a VHF radio on board. Additionally, having a VHF radio can enhance communication with other vessels and emergency services. Always check specific local regulations and requirements before setting out.
Why is height of the VHF radio antenna important?
VHF radios work by the line of sight principle
Abbreviation for VHF radio?
Very High Frequency.
Which of the following equipment is recommended while operating a motorboat in Virginia?
Personal Floatation Device for each person aboard
EQ-20 why is the height of a VHF radio antenna important?
VHF radios work by the line of sight principle
In the United states what is the vhf radio safety and distress calling channel?
VHF channel 16
How do you communicate with someone while your an airplane?
By using a VHF radio.
