Confederate Flag

A common misconception would be that the red field (red part of the flag) with the blue "X" and white stars in the blue field. This flag is really the Confederate BATTLE flag, it was flown when an army or navy unit (the Confederate Air Force did not yet exist) when that usit was going into battle. A slightly modified version of this flag (being a square and not a rectangle). This modified flag was flown by the famous Army of Northern Virginia.

The flag of the Confedrate States of America is pretty close to the flag of the United States of America with a few differances. First of all it only has 7 stars in a circular pattern and only 3 stripes (2 red and 1 white).

The Confederate Battle Flag and the flag of the Confererate States of America are often confused.

oscilloscope

A test instrument that shows a picture of electrical waveforms by means of a cathode ray tube. An oscilloscope is calibrated so one can measure the instantaneous values and waveforms of electrical signals that are changing rapidly or varying as a function of voltage or time. Also known as a Scope.

I use my oscilloscope to measure the waveforms of my 27 MHz band jamming transmitter.

Radio Scanner

Used by criminals and radio operators to listent to pretty much everything from the police officer asking his buddy to get him more doughnuts and your cordless phone.

"yeah man, i just got a hit on the scanner, the cops are after some black guy"
