linear

(radio slang)

An amplifier used after the transceiver output. So named for its purity of amplification. Linear, in the mathematical sense, means that what comes out is directly proportional to what goes in. As far as linear amps go, if you double the input, the output is doubled and so on. This does not generate any additional frequency byproducts. If the amp is nonlinear, sums, differences and all combinations of those are generated also.
Yeah, I got a new silver eagle freeband linear, and were putting out a california kilowatt now.

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.

I got dosed by you
Closer than most to you
what am I supposed to do
Take it away I never had it anyway
Take it away and everything will be okay

In you a star is born
you cut a perfect form
someone forever warm
lay on

Way upon the mountain where she died
all I ever wanted was your life
deep inside the canyon I can't hide
all I ever wanted was your life

Show love with no remorse
climb onto your seahorse
this ride is right on course
this is the way I wanted it to be with you
this is the way I knew that it would be with you

Way upon the mountain where she died
all I ever wanted was your life
deep inside the canyon I can't hide
all I ever wanted was your life
