I could only find one song of The Radios on here, so I figured it was time to upload this other classic of this great band!

These clock radios have two fairly large speakers on the sides. Button on top is snooze/backlight. External jack hooks up to devices such as mp3 players. AM/FM. Most importantly these units play sounds… 4 types of preprogrammed songs (jazz, guitar, spa and something else) as well as preprogrammed nature sounds (surf, rain, babbling brook and white noise). Perhaps you’ve not been to this hotel but the unit still sounds familiar to you.

Contact the hotel.

Sometimes they use stuff that is not available to the general public because the manufacturers sell them a different version.

Good luck.

When people call in and ask for a song that they want to be played by the radio, how do the people at the radio station manage to find and play that song in less than 2 seconds after the person says it???

Also, do radios have every song possible? because lots of times I haven’t even heard of those songs.

They record the person talking on the phone and then they like play the recording of the phone call on the station.

I think they have most songs.

I am talking about the, Kenwood type radios, the professional ones.

If your looking for the Gmrs stuff, then your best bet is the "bubble" pack radios avail at Target or walmart. My family owns a Motorola shop (MSS) and we do offer the kenwood radios you are asking about. You are wanting commercial grade radios. Kenwood has a web site that you can browse the radios they offer and get a list price. This will give you a feeling of what you will pay. Their web site is kenwoodusa.com
Good luck

A dept. store recieves shipment of 23 new radios. There are 5 defective in the shipment. If 4 radios are selected for display, what is the probability that 2 of them are defective?

The number of ways to select the two defective is:
5C2 = 5! / (2!3!)

The number of ways to select the two non-defective is:
18C2 = 18! / (2!16!).

The total number of ways to select 4 radios out of 23 is:
23C4 = 23! / (4!19!)

Multiply and divide to get the probability:
= (5C2)(18C2) / (23C4)
= (10)(153) / (8855)
= 306 / 1771 = .17278373800113

The answer is approximately .17278 or 17.3%

Good luck in your studies,

I Have an iPod Touch and I have downloaded the application A+ Police Radio Free, and it allows me to listen to police radios in different countries like New Zealand and the U.S.A., and also Australia. It let’s me listen in four Australian States, Queensland, South Australia, Western Australia and New South Wales. I don’t want to get caught listening to this if it’s illegal, so could you please help me?

It really depends on your local laws. Some places it is totally legal, others totally illegal, other fine at home, but not in your car or outside your home.

I have my cheap portable with bad reception from my employer, i found some sweet radios that have higher wattage and are waterproof etc. I need to know how whould i go about programing my radio that i want to buy to the companys frequency. How would i find the frequency? How would i program it? There may be an encryption, i am a public safety employee, how do you bypass that?

Take it to the person/company that takes care of your organization’s radios.

When were radios invented?
Who invented radios?
What are their significance?
Did they help in WW1 and WW2, if so, how?

Please can you try to answer some of these questions,
I can’t find any helpful websites to find these answers.
If you do come across any good websites about radio and why it is significant then can you put it in your ’sources’ box!
Thank-you in advance

The original radio was called the ‘wireless telegraph’ and was used to send messages with dots and dashes, just like Samuel Morse’s device. An Italian named Gueliemo Marconi is/was usually credited with the invention of the radio/wireless telegraph, but he was sued for stealing Nikola Tesla’s work, and had to pay millions of dollars of damages to Tesla.

Later, voice and music was sent over radio, and that was a huge leap in entertainment technology, and, of course, military technology. Radio is the basis of both RADAR and something called the ‘proximity fuse’ which helped win WW II.
