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

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. television

6) Transmit messages via radio waves, usally on a set wavelength, or frequency.
There are many differant types of radio-frequency modulation, these include AM and FM.

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.

expressway

a highway for high-speed traffic, with few or no intersections and a divider between lanes of traffic moving differant directions
Interstate 66 is an expressway

theres your example, long enough for you>>>??!?!?!?!

DX-397

The RadioShack DX-397 is based off the SG-344 shortwave and AM/FM radio. It pretty much owns any other analog radio out there.

FREQUENCY COVERAGE:

"MW": 0.530 to 1.710 MHz
"SW1": 4.390 to 5.180 MHz
"SW2": 5.720 to 6.330 MHz
"SW3": 7.000 to 8.050 MHz
"SW4": 9.200 to 10.020 MHz
"SW5": 11.350 to 12.250 MHz
"SW6": 13.250 to 14.290 MHz
"SW7": 15.000 to 16.050 MHz
"SW8": 17.300 to 18.180 MHz
"SW9": 18.700 to 19.250 MHz
"SW10":21.200 to 22.300 MHz
"FM" (yes it gets FM)
88.0 to 108.0 MHz
DX-397 ownage!
