Radios are radios . . . some are used by broadcasters, some are used by the military, some are used by ordinary people, and some are used by amateur radio operators (Hams).

If you want to listen to police scanners for free, download free online scanner from the link below.

This program is free, therefore you can't control the scanner but you can find one close to your area to listen to.

They are a form of communication giving us entertainment, news and other tidbits of interesting information. Radios also create jobs for people.

Radios are useful to hear news broadcast and such you can hear your favoite song or such not questions like these have many possible answers pretty much for the same reasons books are to entertain or inform

In Amateur Radio, PEP stands for Peak Envelope Power. This is the power of the radio wave at the top and bottom of each of it's cycles. For example, if the PEP of a wave is 100 Watts, then at the top of the wave the power is exactly 100 Watts. At the bottom of the wave, things get a little bit weirder, as the power is -100 Watts. I know it's a little hard to wrap your brain around. At the exact middle of the wave, the power is 0 watts.

Disconnect the battery. Take out the centre console and the cover from the gear lever. Remove the ashtray and cup holders. 2 screws hold in the stereo from underneath. they are inserted vertically. Once these are removed the unit slides out.

The government itself does not use amateur (ham) radio. There are thousands of licensed ham radio operators who volunteer to help when the government asks for help. These hams have expensive portable radios, antennas, antenna tuners, batteries, and so forth, that they purchase with their own money

What a mixing console or "desk" does is allow several audio sources to be "mixed" into one. It's called a "summing" circuit. Let's say you were trying to record your friend playing a guitar and singing. You've got a cable coming out of her microphone and another coming out of her guitar. If you were to just cut the ends off the two cables, twist them together, solder a plug on the end and hook them to your tape deck, the sound would be all distorted and nasty. But if you use a mixing console aka mixer it will sound better.


The device described above is a mixing "console" which is a mixer with other things in it, like reverb, limiters, equalizers, delay lines...a mixer is part of a console. The person called a sound mixer runs the mixing console.


In a live concert setting, the person known as the sound mixer, also called the Front Of House Sound Engineer, is the person who combines all of the microphones on stage into a balanced mix for the listening audience.

In a recording studio, the sound mixer is responsible for recording the music onto digital or analog media and then remixing the music into a final mix for release to the listening public.

In film and television production, the sound mixer, also called a sound recordist, is the person on set who records the dialog and sound effects that will be used in the movie or television show.

The first radio used visible coiled wiring and a large circular wire antenna. It did not have a case or speakers built into it and did not look like what a person of today might expect a radio to look like. The first designs of a functional radio were created in 1888 by Heinrich Rudolf Hertz after spending two years studying James Clerk Maxell's theory on electromagnetism, a theory that proposed the existence of electromagnetic waves. Hertz's design was the first properly functional radio transceiver which could send and receive signals, although these signals weren't informative. It would still be decades until we developed this technology to resemble the humble radio we know and love today.

A long time ago, I saw the figure of 460,000 licensed amateur operators worldwide. But trust me, that was really a long time ago. Check out the website of the American Radio Relay League for more up-to-date information.

Radio portion of the electromagnetic spectrum Radio waves are divided up into bands by frequency (and corresponding wavelength) as shown in the radio frequency spectrum table below. {| ! ! ! ! ! | < 3 Hz

> 100,000 km Extremely low frequency ELF 1 3-30 Hz

100,000 km - 10,000 km Communication with submarines Super low frequency SLF 2 30-300 Hz

10,000 km - 1000 km Communication with submarines Ultra low frequency ULF 3 300-3000 Hz

1000 km - 100 km Communication within mines Very low frequency VLF 4 3-30 kHz

The government did not take up seriously the licensing and control of amateur and commercial radio operators- all this was in Code then, until about l00 years ago. There was something called the Roberts Bill. Popular electronics writer- and also a Science fiction man- Hugo Gernsback manufactured amateur radio gear and took up the cause of the Amateur- in a very real sense he can be called one of the founding fathers. Naturally, he used his magazines ( Modern Electrics, was one) as a , well repeater circuit. this was around l9ll or so. It fell under the department of commerce- the maritime section- as there were and are many Marine operators- catapulted into the news by the Titanic disaster a year or so later! It should be noted- emergency prepardedness aside- Ham operators were NOT directly involved in the Titanic disaster or rescue attempts and message traffic connected with it. SOS indeed!

The cost of repairing drywall damage would depend on how much damage is done. If you were to buy the drywall it ranges from $10 to $30 a sheet. Plus if you hired someone then it would cost more for labor then it would if you did it yourself.

Ham Radio also known as Amateur Radio, is a service and hobby enjoyed by radio enthusiasts around the world. Hams use radio equipment to communicate all over the world. A license is required to operate a ham radio. More information is available from the American Radio Relay League or you can search for a ham radio club in your area.

in order to avoid tangling the wires and cables to which it's connected.

At this point we're talking about amplitude modulation. If you're transmitting with "29.000" MHz displaying on your radio's frequency display and your bandwidth is set to 4 kHz, you are transmitting useful intelligence from 28.996MHz to 29.004MHz--4KHz on each side of the carrier--in "full carrier" or "double sideband" mode. You wouldn't actually transmit this for a couple of reasons. The most important reason is that using filters in your radio to remove either the signal below 29MHz (called "upper sideband" or USB operation) or the signal above it (called "lower sideband" or LSB) allows another operator to use the piece of spectrum you relinquished. The other advantage is SSB makes more efficient use of your amplifier, so you can talk to people farther away from you and they can hear you better. So..."full carrier" means double sideband, and then there's single sideband.
