CDMA

Code Division Multiple Access

A spread spectrum approach for the digital transmission of data/voice over radio frequencies. Sound bits are digitized and the data is split into data packets that are encoded with unique identification tags. All of the data/voice is sent over a spread range of radio frequencies. The cell phone or data device receives all of the data packets but only re-assembles those packets with the correct code and transforms the broken-up bits of data into useful sound and data. This allows more traffic for a finite number of available frequencies than analog or the other digital standards.
My LG phone does CDMA, TDMA, and GSM, as well as analog modes.

CHP

California Highway Patrol

the largest highway patrol organization in the world. with a VHF radio network that kicks LAPDs ass.

FM

FREQUENCY MODULATION

radio modulation techique where information (usally voice or music) is added to the signal and changed by varying the freqeuncy of the transmitter. FM is the most commonly used modulation for radio signals techneque above 30 MHz.

the term "FM" is also used to refer to the broadcast band from 88.1 to 107.9 MHz, using that same modulation mode.
FM signals have less static because changes in frequency do not pick up interferance that AM-modulated signals do.
