That's why every President model has 40 channels. That's why every President gets thoroughly tested to make sure it works perfectly before it leaves the factory. That's why every President comes with all the power the law will allow. And why every President comes with sophisticated electronic features like Phase Lock Loop circuitry for superior on -frequency performance. That's why you'll find that our engineers have done just about everything known to man to give you a better, stronger, clearer signal. And that's why-no matter who you are or how much money you have to spend -you might as well start by looking at the best. PRESIDEllt Engineered to be the very best.

In June 2011 the ECC, part of CEPT, published a Decision, ECC/DEC/ (11)03 (the ‘Decision’) on the harmonised use of frequencies for CB radio equipment. The Decision sought to harmonise the technical standards and usage conditions relating to the use of frequencies for CB radio equipment in CEPT administrations.

  • Vfr Communications for Idiots
    VFR COMMUNICATIONS FOR IDIOTS A CRANIUM RECTUM EXTRACTUS PUBLICATION INTRODUCTION The crowded nature of today’s aviation environment and the affordability of VHF transceivers for general aviation aircraft have caused the development of two-way radio communication skills to be included in a modern flight instruction curriculum. While radio communication is not required at uncontrolled airports, safety is greatly enhanced by the use of proper radio technique. Moreover, the inclusion of more and more airspace under the positive control of Air Traffic Control (ATC), inside which two-way radio communication is mandatory, has made mastery of radio skills necessary if general aviation aircraft are to be fully utilized. This article has been written to introduce the primary pilot to current radio communication techniques by using familiar examples and by avoiding confusing technobabble. Please remember that the phraseology and techniques presented here are not carved in stone! Fashions in radio communications have changed in the past, and they will certainly change in the future to satisfy the requirements of an evolving aviation environment. These recommendations should provide a starting point that will allow each pilot to develop an individual style within a framework of efficient communications. RADIO TECHNIQUE 1. Make sure the radio is audible. Place the radio power switch in the TEST position or turn down the squelch until static can be heard. Turn up the volume to the desired level, then return the poser switch to ON or turn up the squelch until the static is eliminated. Don’t miss critical radio calls just because the volume is too low.

  • Citizens' Band (CB) Radio Spectrum Use – Information and Operation
    Citizens’ Band Radio equipment– information and operation Citizens’ Band (CB) radio spectrum use – information and operation Of 364 Guidance Publication date: March 2018 Citizens’ Band Radio equipment– information and operation Contents Section Page 1 Regulatory and equipment information 1 2 Frequently asked questions 5 3 CB operating practice 8 Citizens’ Band Radio equipment– information and operation Section 1 Regulatory and equipment information Citizens’ Band (‘CB’) radio 1.1 Citizens’ Band (‘CB’) radio operates in the 27 MHz band. It is a short-range radio service for both hobby and business use. It is designed to be used without the need for technical qualifications. However, its use must not cause interference to other radio users. Consequently, only radios meeting certain specific requirements may be used. These are described below. How Ofcom authorises the use of CB radio 1.2 Ofcom seeks to reduce regulation, where possible. In 2006, we therefore made exemption regulations1, removing the need for a person to hold a licence to operate CB radio equipment using Angle Modulation (FM/PM). 1.3 In 2014, Ofcom made further exemption regulations2, which permitted the operation of CB radio equipment using two additional modes of Amplitude Modulation (AM) - Double Side Band (DSB) and Single Side Band (SSB). This followed an international agreement3 made in 2011.”. 1.4 CB users share spectrum in a frequency band used by the Ministry of Defence (MOD). CB users must therefore accept incoming interference caused by use of this spectrum by the MOD. 1.5 CB radio equipment must be operated on a 'non-interference’ basis.

    A CONCISE HISTORY OF FORT MONMOUTH, NEW JERSEY AND THE U.S. ARMY CECOM LIFE CYCLE MANAGEMENT COMMAND Prepared by the Staff of the CECOM LCMC Historical Office U.S. Army CECOM Life Cycle Management Command Fort Monmouth, New Jersey Fall 2009 Design and Layout by CTSC Visual Information Services, Myer Center Fort Monmouth, New Jersey Visit our Website: www.monmouth.army.mil/historian/ When asked to explain a loyalty that time had not been able to dim, one of the Camp Vail veterans said shyly, "The place sort of gets into your blood, especially when you have seen it grow from nothing into all this. It keeps growing and growing, and you want to be part of its growing pains." Many of the local communities have become very attached to Fort Monmouth because of the friendship instilled...not for just a war period but for as long as...Fort Monmouth...will inhabit Monmouth County. - From “A Brief History of the Beginnings of the Fort Monmouth Radio Laboratories,” Rebecca Klang, 1942 FOREWORD The name “Monmouth” has been synonymous with the defense of freedom since our country’s inception. Scientists, engineers, program managers, and logisticians here have delivered technological breakthroughs and advancements to our Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen, Marines, and Coast Guardsmen for almost a century. These innovations have included the development of FM radio and radar, bouncing signals off the moon to prove the feasibility of extraterrestrial radio communication, the use of homing pigeons through the late-1950s, frequency hopping tactical radios, and today’s networking capabilities supporting our troops in Overseas Contingency Operations.

  • Unicomdual DATAMODE • CAT CONTROL • PROGRAMMING INTERFACE
    Radioarena UnicomDual DATAMODE • CAT CONTROL • PROGRAMMING INTERFACE User Manual www.radioarena.co.uk I. Rig Control and Programming Section The CAT control part of the interface is based on the FT2232C, the 3rd generation of FTDI’s popular USB UART/FIFO I.C. family. This device features two Multi-Purpose UART / FIFO controllers which can be configured individually in several different modes. It is designed specifically for CAT (Computer Aided Transceiver) system, which controls transceiver frequency, mode and other functions by computer, supporting Icom (CI-V), Kenwood (IF-232C) and Yaesu (FIF-232C) transceivers. It may also be used to program and clone various hand-held, mobile and base radios. The UnicomDual communicates directly with a PC through the now popular and standard USB interface. It emulates 2 (two) Serial Ports communicating with a radio at TTL voltage levels. A Serial Port connection is not needed since the Radioarena UnicomDual emulates one for you. The Radioarena UnicomDual is compatible with all versions of Windows® that support USB operation. This only includes Windows® 98SE, ME, W2K, XP or higher. Many up to date notebook computers support only USB interfaces, but no more Serial Ports. On a desktop PC the few serial devices are already in use. You can connect as many USB devices as you want to your PC. The Radioarena UnicomDual is a new CAT/Programming/Datamode interface for USB 2.0 or USB 1.1, for all those PCs without Serial Ports. Two virtual Serial Ports are created, so that any Windows™ based rig control software that is compatible with your computer and radio may be used.

Part 95 is unique in that some of it’s Subparts don’t require an station license. These Subparts which require equipment approval but not operator license are the family radio service, radio control service, citizens band service and multi- use radio service. Background of Part 95 is that originally included devices which all required licenses. Over time some of the license requirements were dropped as the technology became more stable. Then some additional subparts were added which required equipment authorization but no licenses. 2 Part 95A- General Mobile (GMRS) Frequency Bands: – 462.55-462.725 MHz & 467.55-467.725 MHz General Technical Requirements – 95.621 - Frequency Tolerance – 95.631(a), (e), & (f) - Emission Types – 95.633 - Emission Bandwidth(s) – 95.635 - Unwanted radiation – 95.637 - Modulation Standards – 95.639 - Maximum Transmitter Power – 95.655 - Frequency Capability October 2005 TCB Workshop 3 This slide shows an overview of 47 CFR part 95 Subpart A General mobile radio service.
