1) The process of comparing an instrument's output signal with reality. Instruments that measure solar energy tend to "drift", that is, their output signals do not mean the same thing from one time period to another. Because of this, they are periodically (annually or semi-annually) re-calibrated against more reliable instruments.
2) Adjusting a measuring instrument to make it accurate. The set of operations which establish, under specified conditions, the relationship between values indicated by a measuring instrument or measuring system and the corresponding values of a quantity realized by a reference standard.
3) The act of adjusting the color of one device relative to another, such as a monitor to a printer, or a scanner to a film recorder. Or, it may be the process of adjusting the color of one device to some established standard.

The range of radio frequencies that are assigned to police departments:
and here they are:
the police bands are shared with fire/public safety bands in the 44.62 to 46.02 MHz band, the 153.74 to 156.24 MHz band, and the 453, 460, and 851.0125 to 868.9875 MHz band. Specific police allocations very from city to city and the UHF-T band, 470 to 512 MHz is also used in large cities such as LA, New York and others.

Pilot slang for the transponder code being used to indentify the aircraft on radar. The code is made up of four digits, and all codes are used but 0000, try using that code in a civilian aircraft and watch how fast the air force lights your ass up. For normal flight the code is 1200, Hijack code is 7500, radio being jammed is 7600 and general mayday call is 7700. These are discrete codes from 7600 to 7677 and 7701 to 7785 also, but I cant tell you what they are for...
Jetblue 834 this is Dulles Control, squawk 4932 please and climb to 15000.
Roger dulles control, squawking.

Emergency Locator Transmitter. The ELT is a small radio transmitter that is installed in an aircraft and is designed to being transmitting upon impact (the crash) or it can be manually switched on. The ELT transmits a distincive signal on the international emergency frequencies of 121.5 MHz (VHF) and 243.0 MHz (UHF). This signal is picked up by ground stations, search and resuce aircraft (see Civil Air Patrol and Coast Guard, and satelites. Direction-finding equipment is then used to "home-in" on the signal and locate the downed aircraft.
