radio
1) A form of wireless communications in which the output of the transmitter takes the form of dissipating
electromagnetic radiation which spreads outward from the antenna through free space. The signal strength drops off as the square of the distance from the source of radiation. Distant radio receivers have to be very sensitive to detect signals that can measure only a few microvolts per meter in strength. 2) A communications device allowing the wireless transmission through space of audible signals encoded in
electromagnetic waves in the approximate frequency range from 10
kilohertz to 300,000
megahertz. 3) (maratime definition) An instrument that uses electromagnetic waves to communicate with other vessels.
VHF radios are common for marine use, but are limited in range. HF-SSB (single sideband) radios have longer ranges. 4) an electronic receiver that detects and demodulates and amplifies transmitted signals 5) Radio is a system for the distribution of advertisement, chiefly brand advertisement for package-goods, and advertisement for recorded music sold by BigCos. To describe radio as a system for the diffusion of news, or of music, or as a technology, would be not only inaccurate but actually misleading. Radio is a creature of the advertising business, as its child, TV. television6) Transmit messages via radio waves, usally on a set wavelength, or frequency.

1)See "
payola".
2)Doesn't care about
putting out great music anymore. Only cares about
making money.
3)Deceives its listeners into believing that they play the most requested songs. In reality, radio plays "THE RIGHT PRICE" (i.e. the song that the record label paid them the most to play.)
4) See number 1.
5) See number 1 again and again!!
Example:
The overwhelming majority of songs that you hear
on today's commercial radio are played because
the radio station got PAID to play those songs.

Term used in the Los Angeles County Jail to tell inmates to shut up so
the Deputy can hear his police radio while walking on the row. Usually "radio" will be yelled by a
shot caller in the module or a
trustee. If the tier or row is too loud and
the deputy gets pissed off, there is a high probability that the duputy will shut off the phones, search cells, or find other ways to cause suffering to the inmates.

There are many different types of
radio receiving circuits:
-Crystal (see above)
-Regenerative
-Tuned
Radio Frequency (
TRF)
-Superheterodyne
Example:
Modern radios are
superheterodyne. The superheterodyne circuit replaced the
TRF and
regenerative circuits by the 1930's, and crystal sets were nearly dead until solid state radio emerged.
