  2. Two-way radio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Two-way_radio

    Naval air traffic controller communicates with aircraft over a two-way radio headset A variety of portable handheld two-way radios for private use. A two-way radio is a radio transceiver (a radio that can both transmit and receive radio waves), which is used for bidirectional person-to-person voice communication with other users with similar radios, [1] in contrast to a broadcast receiver ...

  3. Marine VHF radio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marine_VHF_radio

    Marine VHF radio is a worldwide system of two way radio transceivers on ships and watercraft used for bidirectional voice communication from ship-to-ship, ship-to-shore (for example with harbormasters), and in certain circumstances ship-to-aircraft.

  4. Baofeng UV-5R - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baofeng_UV-5R

    Other radios from other Chinese manufacturers have mainly the same range of functions, specs and menu like the UV-5R, for example the Retevis RT5. [ 7 ] The UV-5R has attracted the attention of multiple telecommunications regulators due to problems relating primarily to frequency interference and is banned from sale and use in Switzerland ...

  5. Trunked radio system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trunked_radio_system

    A trunked radio system is a two-way radio system that uses a control channel to automatically assign frequency channels to groups of user radios. In a traditional half-duplex land mobile radio system a group of users (a talkgroup) with mobile and portable two-way radios communicate over a single shared radio channel, with one user at a time ...

  6. CB radio in the United States - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CB_radio_in_the_United_States

    The initial channel allocations had a gap equal to two channel spaces between channels 22 and 23. Those channels were assigned to the Business Radio Service. Beginning in 1977, those two channels (and 15 others above CB Channel 23) were reallocated to CB use. Channel 23 was left as it was so that users of pre-1977 equipment could use that ...

  7. Radio repeater - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radio_repeater

    A radio repeater is a combination of a radio receiver and a radio transmitter that receives a signal and retransmits it, so that two-way radio signals can cover longer distances. A repeater sited at a high elevation can allow two mobile stations, otherwise out of line-of-sight propagation range of each other, to communicate. [ 1 ]

  8. NXDN - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NXDN

    The basic NXDN channel is digital and can be either 12.5 kHz or 6.25 kHz wide. 6.25 kHz dual-channel systems can be configured to fit within a 12.5 kHz channel. This effectively doubles the spectrum efficiency compared to an analog FM system occupying a 12.5 kHz channel. The architecture of NXDN is such that two NXDN channels, within a 12.5 kHz ...

  9. Selective calling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Selective_calling

    In a conventional, analog two-way radio system, a standard radio has noise squelch or carrier squelch, which allows a radio to receive all transmissions. Selective calling is used to address a subset of all two-way radios on a single radio frequency channel. Where more than one user is on the same channel (co-channel users), selective calling ...
