Radio

Radio quit working and I want to get serial # off of it, but must take entire radio out.

There is a vertical slot on each side of the radio where it meets the dash. Special tools that fit in those slots are required to release the springs that hold the radio in. If you can find some metal pieces about the right width and length, you might be able to get away without buying the tools. Basically you push the tools in at the same time and you should feel a click of the springs releasing then you can pull the radio out.

I want to buy a quality radio scanner, and am looking for a scanner that can detect all legally allowable frequencies. Anyone know what all the legally allowable frequencies are and perhaps a radio scanner that can pick up all of them or close to all of them? An answer would be highly appreciated. Thanks!

you are allowed to listen to any frequency that the scanner can receive.

Scanners are required to hardware block cellular frequencies, so scaners do not and cannot be modified to, listen to cell freqs.

The rules still exist for listening to communications. The Communications Act of 1934 still exists. You may listen to anything, you may not utilize third party information, what you hear, stays with you.

There are exceptions, broadcast radio is exempt, hobby services are exempt, unlicensed services are exempt.

I have a Chevy 2001 Silverado. The radio has the light burnt out behind the "1" and "4" buttons. Hopefully I don’t have to pull the whole radio out? Can I pull the button caps off the keys and get to that little lamp? It the standard radio cd player that came originally.

it ueses led’s you have to take it out and then to a radio shop to be repaired

My radio always restarts the moment I start my car..
Is that because my starter motor takes all power from my battery and leaves nothing behind for my radio?
My mom her car doesnt have this problem.

Is this an aftermarket radio? If so it most aftermarkets have a permanent power feed line on them. Someone may have installed it incorrectly.
If it’s factory, it’s possible that a connection is loose or the radio itself has a short. You may also want to replace the radio fuse in your car to see if that helps.

Physics Question! Original:
"Name the two properties of a radio wave which are commonly used to identify a radio station."

frequency and type of modulation
such as
810 AM or 101.5 FM
AM is in the kHz range
FM is in the MHz range

I want to listen to Japanese music without going on the computer, so i would like to know if there is a radio out there on the store that i can get, so i can hear music from japan.

Thanks Don! You always give the best information.

Today, all of a sudden, the word "progressive" has become the conservatives’ all-purpose devil term to describe people they disagree with.

Which radio talk show host targeted that word today?

Glenn Beck has done a lot of shows about Progressives.

Radio has a tape player ,that shows a tape is in place but it is empty not sure how to remove radio from dash?

1)To extract radio waves from the song you need to have a program called TRAKTOR so that you can change AC to DC or A to B.
2)Are you talking about Rammstain’s song Bueck Dich?

My radio doesn’t receive a signal from my radio transmitter, because it transmits at 900 MHZ; which is too high for a radio to receive.
I know i can just buy one, but this one has 300 ft range, and I LIKE MODIFYING THINGS myself.

SO, PLEASE HELP ME. AND MAKE IT SIMPLE.

Websites with tutorials are appreciated.

What are you trying to do? Control an R/C car, boat or airplane? What is this transmitter? 900 MHz sounds like a public service two-way radio. However, these radios have more than a 300 ft range. A 300 ft range would sound like a R/C transmitter but there aren’t any that work at 900 MHz.

I will assume you are are trying to control an R/C thing-a-ma-jig. R/C receivers work at 27 MHz, 72 MHz, 75 MHz or 2.4 GHz. If your R/C transmitter works in the same band as your receiver, you can change crystals in both the receiver and/or transmitter, fairly easy.

If you like modifying radio gear, get an Amateur Radio (Ham) License. You are allowed to build, experiment with and modify all the radio gear you want! Hams also use their gear for R/C.

I want to buy a cd with my favorite song on it but it says its a radio edition and i don’t know if i should get it because i don’t know if there’s a difference between a radio edition or a normal version.
Is there a difference and if so what is it?

Radio versions are edited for language and (less commonly) for length.
