Motorola T5320 FRS handheld radio. The Family Radio Service (FRS) is an improved walkie-talkie radio system authorized in the United States since 1996. This personal radio service uses channelized frequencies around 462 and 467 MHz in the ultra high frequency (UHF) band.
UHF TV signals are generally more degraded by moisture than lower bands, such as VHF TV signals. As the visual horizon sets the maximum range of UHF transmission to between 30 and 40 miles (48 to 64 km) or less, depending on local terrain, the same frequency channels can be reused by other users in neighboring geographic areas (frequency reuse).
Stereoscopic rangefinder atop the bridge of the German cruiser Admiral Graf Spee Portable stereoscopic rangefinder with binoculars from WWII. A stereoscopic rangefinder or stereoscopic telemeter [1] is an optical device that measures distance from the observer to a target, using the observer's capability of binocular vision.
High-frequency direction finding, usually known by its abbreviation HF/DF or nickname huff-duff, is a type of radio direction finder (RDF) introduced in World War II. High frequency (HF) refers to a radio band that can effectively communicate over long distances; for example, between U-boats and their land-based headquarters.
A portable, battery operated GT-302 Accumatic automatic direction finder for marine use. Radio direction finding, radio direction finder, or RDF, was once the primary aviation navigational aid. (Range and Direction Finding was the abbreviation used to describe the predecessor to radar. [2])
The range to the target is found by measuring the difference in bearing of the two telescopes and solving the skinny triangle. Solutions can be obtained automatically, using tables or, rarely, manual calculation. The greater the distance to the target, the longer the baseline needs to be for accurate measurement.

A radio-frequency power amplifier (RF power amplifier) is a type of electronic amplifier that converts a low-power radio-frequency (RF) signal into a higher-power signal. [1] Typically, RF power amplifiers are used in the final stage of a radio transmitter , their output driving the antenna .
