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.

cordless phone

1) Pretty much a phone with a full-duplex (i.e. tranmit on one frequency and recieve on another, and it always transmitting and recieving) (radio), and that allows both people on the line can yell at each other at the same time.

2) A device permantly attachted to a teenybopper.
Whats great is, people think cordless phones cannot be listened to, but sense it uses radio waves to be 'cordless', then anyone with a scanning reciever on the base (this is a duplex system, remember) can listen to BOTH sides of the conversation.

In my free time, i listen to my neighbor's cordless phone conversations on my radioshack radio scanner.

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.

freeband

The term "freeband" pretty much refers to the 25.1000 MHz (25100.0 kHz) to 28.0000 MHz (28000.0 kHz) band, although people do operate "freeband" above those ranges, and into the 10-meter ham radio band (which is REALLY illegal). Freeband comes from the 26.9650 to 27.4050 MHz CB radio band. Because of heavy use of this band al around the world (in all modes, AM, SSB, FM). People started to modify thier CB radios to operate above or below (usally above, in the 27.4150 to 28.775 MHz range) the normal CB band. Really, this band has very little users, the military and government have a few channels, and 28.000 to 29.700 is ham radio, and there are a few channels allocated to the Forest Products Radio Service/Business Radio Pool.

The most common modulation mode is SSB.

The international calling frequency is 27.555 MHz (27555.0 kHz)
The DX-949 is a common freeband radio.
