Why is a wire wrapped around GM radio antennas?
The spiral shape lessens wind noise created by typical cylindrical shaped antennas masts. It is there for passenger compartment noise reduction only, and has nothing to do with the noise or clarity of the radio signal it receives.
What does the term 'RIT' mean in HAM radio?
Receiver incremental tuning (RIT)--A transceiver control that allows for a slight change in the receiver frequency without changing the transmitter frequency. Some manufacturers call this a clarifier (CLAM) control.
What should be the oscillator frequency for tuning in 710 KHz on AM radio with a 455 KHz IF?
The local oscillator could be either 1165 KHz (710+455) or 255 KHz (710-455).
What travels faster radio waves or ultraviolet waves?
neither... they both are electromagnetic waves and therefore travel at the same speed... but ultraviolet waves have a higher frequency and also have more energy than radio waves

What lesson does Orson Welles want listeners to learn from his radio broadcast War of the Worlds?
The media are a powerful tool but they are not always truthful.
What are the disadvantages of ham radio?
Ham radio can be an expensive hobby, but a far greater disadvantage is the fact
that it can be addictive. The addicted ham operator can become less sociable, and
can degrade his own health through the combined effects of excessive coffee, poor
posture, insufficient sleep, and poor personal hygiene.
In the defense of ham radio, however, note that the process of addiction requires
a certain willingness on the part of the addictee. And a review of dire consequences
listed above shows that there is nothing on the list that is unique to any particular
single obsession. As a random example, the same consequences could result from
an over-dedication to either ham radio or to WikiAnswers.
Take it from one who has known both.
An FM radio receiver is tuned to a 90.6 MHz broadcast station It will receive an image frequency of?
Normaly IF frequency is 455 kHz, so if broadcasted signal frequency is 90.6 MHz
then it's image frequency would be 91.51 Mhz.
===================================
That's very true if the receiver's IF is 455 KHz. While typical of AM receivers,
it's seldom used for FM ones, as most FM stations would have an image
frequency in the band, which would get messy. The almost universal IF
frequency for consumer-grade single-conversion FM radios, at least in the
US, is 10.7 MHz. If the receiver in the question is one of those, then the
image frequency is 69.2 MHz for a low-side local oscillator, or 112 MHz
for a high-side LO.
A couple of observations:
-- That would be a poor choice for a broadcast license in a city that also
had a local Channel-4 TV under the old analog channelization, or an ATC
voice or VOR on 112.0 MHz.
-- We may not be dealing with a question from the USA at all, since the FM
broadcast carrier frequencies in the USA are all on the odd tenths of a MHz ...
89.9 ... 90.1 ... 90.3 ... etc., and you'd never find a US FM station at 90.6 .
(Not a legally licensed one anyway.)

Is there a converter kit for replacing the radio in 1996-2005 Taurus - Sables?
Even though the radio is integrated into the climate control dash-panel and requires a converter kit, removing the radio is the same as a regular unit.
TIP: Invest the $4-5 for a pair of Ford radio removal tools - widely available from auto parts stores, Walmart, etc. (or fabricate your own if you are really cheap from hanger wire). Insert the tools into each pair of small holes on either side of the radio face
They're all the way in when you feel them hit an indent, or a bit of 'click'
Push the tops of the tools to the *OUTSIDE* while pulling the radio out from the dash. This is more "art" & feel than specific instructions.
Here is where it's slightly different: disconnect the 2 or 3 wire harness connectors off & disconnect the radio antenna wire, AND the related heater/climate controls.
I have a 97 and it requires a dash kit (the dash is OVAL, with the heater controls). The kit and wiring harness from circuit city is $85. The radio is in the trunk in that car. you will have to run the wires to the trunk and plug it in. then just match colors.
Here is a link that shows where the cabling is run on a Ford Taurus.
The 1996-2005 Taurus / Sables / Escorts / Tracers all required the dashkit which have the heater controls built-in. Many stores & outlets carry these, including
Crutchfield.com is where I bought one for my 98 Tracer. The dashkits are currently $70, $35 if you purchase a radio priced at $130 or more.
NOTE: if your vehicle has the electronic climate control, like my 98 Sable, you may be out of luck - I haven't found one yet.
With the converter dashkit, you would be able to fit / install virtually any after-market radio units.
SCOSCHE FD134030B TIPS:">TIPS: Be sure to spend the few dollars for the wire harness kit - This saves you from having to CUT the factory wiring. If you sell the car, it takes only 10 minutes to put the factory radio back.
Many places even give you the radio removal tools when you buy a radio from them, like Crutchfield.comDo not try to save a few dollars and spend far more than $5 worth of your time with home made tools
This vehicle has the round dash panel surrounding the radio and climate controls. If your climate controls are the 3 turn-knobs and not the full electronic controls, then yes, you can put in aftermarket stereo.
Just be aware that the dash panel replacement, along with the wiring harness (which is very very long) won't be cheap. Normally you can easily pay 65-80 or more. Then comes the fun of the install.
The tuner pack for this factory stereo is in a box that is mounted in the trunk where the antenna is located. You will have to access that and then your purchased harness/antenna adapter will plug into the factory wiring plug and antenna. You must then run that long stretch of wires all the way up to the front and behind the dash up to the factory opening. These will then connect to your aftermarket radio.
Totally agree - and you'll find these stereo/radio harnesses at places like typical auto parts stores (Advance, Autozone, etc.), along with Target and Walmart.
Save yourself hours of frustration in dealing with wiring - spend the few extra dollars for the harness.
Also, some retailers will even include the harness at minimal cost, or even for free, like Crutchfield.com (I'm a very happy repeat customer)
On the radio/HVAC control face there are four little holes, two on either side of the radio controls. There are special tools, we call "radio hooks" available cheap at auto parts stores. They should come with instructions. f they don't ask somene there to demonstrate how to use them. The radio will come out fairly easy using radio hooks.
If it's the stock dash (specifically the middle containing the ac/radio controls) there are a pair of 'U' shaped tools that you need to get from Ford, eBay, or some source. Once you have them, you just put one on either side lined up with the four small holes, and push in, then pull back out. The dash should easily come out with them.
there are 4 small holes in the front of the console. take a piece of a wire coat hanger and bend it in a u shape. make 2 of these. put the ends of this u shape tool into the holes upper and lower on each side and push gently this will unlock the console so you can remove it. It helps to have 2 people...one to push the tools in and the other to get the front of the console off. You can buy a tool made specifically for this but someone gave me the coat hanger suggestion and I used it and it worked. Good luck
Since the dash is not a standard opening, the 1996-1999 Taurus Sables require a converter plate. This converter not only allows standard mounting for most all after-market radios, but also has the climate controls for the blower & heater knobs.
Retailers like Crutchfield.com have these converters, and they price around $40.
NOTE: if your Taurus Sable has electronic, automatic climate control, you're (we're) out of luck. The typical converters I have found won't work with those controls.
NOTE: This information applies to the same years Escort / Tracer models since they share the same oval dash design.
Even though the pictures are of a traditional DIN mount radio, the information fully applies to the 1996+ Taurus/Sables
take a wire coat hanger and cut it in half to form two u shaped pieces. stick them in to the four holes located in the head unit. while giving pressure outward on both pieces of the hanger, simultaneously pull the radio out. make sure the hanger is thick so it wont have much flex
I also owns 2001 Ford Taurus SE. Not sure if most of these models comes with standard 10-disc CD player located in the trunk on the left side. If you have a tape player with CD button option, then you should have the black box in the trunk. Otherwise, you may want to speak with your local Ford dealer about it. They can help you with that.
Most factory-installed radios in Jeep Libertys have a 10-pin socket on the rear which is used as an AUX input for a CD multichanger or other accessories such as satellite radio, handsfree, or rear seat entertainment. It's possible to buy an official Jeep/Chrysler/Dodge iPod integration kit which uses this socket to provide a wired connection to an iPod. A cable with an iPod dock connector is run from the back of the radio, behind the dash and into the back of the glovebox, and then you simply connect your iPod, close the glovebox, and control the iPod using the radio and the steering wheel controls (if your model of Jeep has them). The iPod remains hidden out of sight in the glovebox, and receives power from the car, so battery life is not an issue. Depending on the model, your radio will either provide a full display of each track and artist name, or you will just get the first 8 characters. There are also third-party aftermarket kits available which provide similar functionality, but the official Jeep kit allows you to have a CD multichanger (or other AUX accessory) connected at the same time as the iPod - most aftermarket kits require you to disconnect any existing AUX device before connecting the iPod.
95 % of the time the nylon cord that moves the antenna up and down gets stripped. The power antenna motor is going to cost about $200.00. The antenna mast is about $40.00 which comes as part of the nylon cord. The motor that drives the antenna must bestill working. The procedure to fix takes about 15 minutes. Remove the nut that secures the antenna and slowly pull the antenna out od the socket. Take the new antenna with the nylon leadand feed it into the socket hole. You can then secure the antenna in place with the holding nut.
There are several screws: 2 on the ends under the fuse covers 2 on the panel under the steering wheel and 2 by the odometer Gently pull the face off the dash. Don't break off the clips.
Is it possible to listen to just one artist on Pandora radio?
Sadly No, Pandora exposes you to several Artists that white the same kind of Music. Pandora does this because it is a Music Genome Project. To most people listening to the same artist eventually gets old. So Pandora offers a variety of Music and Artists types for it's listeners.

What is meant by WARC in Amateur Radio use?
WARC stands for World Administrative Radio Conference which is organised by the International Telecommunications Union. The conference sets up international agreements on the use of radio frequency bands.
One advantage of the 1979 conference was the allocation of new frequency bands for amateur radio use on HF. These bands are 30m, 17m & 12m and are generally referred to as the WARC bands.
