spread spectrum

A signal struc­turing tech­nique that employs direct se­quence, frequency hopping or a hybrid of these, which can be used for multiple access and/or multiple func­tions. This technique decreases the potential interfer­ence to other receivers while achieving privacy and increasing the immunity of spread spec­trum receivers to noise and interference. Spread spec­trum generally makes use of a sequential noise­‑like signal structure to spread the normally narrow­band informa­tion signal over a relatively wide band of frequencies. The receiver corre­lates the signals to retrieve the origi­nal informa­tion signal (NTIA)
Normal scanners cannot get spread spectrum transmissions.

Honda

Japanese engine manfacturing company that makes more then just cars. Their engines are very relible and well-built, however its nothing special to have one.
Your 2004 Honda Civic has the same specs as my 1995 Ford Contour (hazardmobile) with 103,000 miles on it, yet I would still beat you if we raced due to the drag produced by the 30 pounds of NOS stickers and the 20 pound inverted 747 wing on 3 foot stilts attacthed to the rear of your front-wheel-drive car.

My mom drives a 2001 Honda Accord V6 (proof that NOT ALL imports are 4-bangers, most of them are). It is fun to drive and everything, and looks pretty good, until you slap a sheet metal tube to the exhuast which makes it sound like the 2-stroke yamaha engine on my fishing boat and a 10 foot inverted wing which belongs on a commercial airliner.

I won a race in my Honda, a lawnmower race.

Having a small fuel-saving japanese car is great, until you destroy the engine parts and wheel geometery by 'trick' or 'ricing it out'.

Wave
Listener

in other words, a radio operator who listens to short wave radio transmissions and spends all of his time hunched in front of a 5000 dollar radio, is usally a cracker and a loser
