Radio

1. Radio? ?

The most listened to ,despite possible parental repercussions, radio stations ever were probably the pirate stations (London and Caroline) which also had the most popular DJs of their time which were later poached by the BBC and LWT. Radio Luxembourg was avidly listened to at night by virtually every teenager in Britain that had access to a transistor radio. Radio London has recently reinvented itself and for the first time in 20 years i am now listening regularly to the radio again and so the format they use must be timeless.

2. VW radio - is it possible to retrieve the code from the radio before disconnecting battery?

Shortly put, no. I drive a VW Jetta with the Bose system. YOu absolutley need to get that code, or go to the dealership. (If you enter the code wrong three times in a row, you can't retry for six hours... be cautious)

3. How do radio stations know how many people are listening? Do our radios broadcast back to the station?

Surveys - for TV, they're called Nielsson's ratings, not sure how radio does it. No return messages without an extra box on the set.

4. How do you trace or track down a radio signal?

Using a directional antenna such as a loop or a beam antenna (Yagi or log periodic) rotate the antenna and note in what direction the signal peaks. If this is done from two positions (triangulation) then the transmitter is at the intersection of the two bearings as drawn on a chart.

5. What is the difference between HD radio and satallite radio?

omg. i got a satellite radio and i love it. i got the silhouette 2 from sirius and i love it. it's also portable! it cost about $325.00 plus you want to have it professionally installed. you get all different types of music comercial free. it's about $13.00 a month for subscription. i love mine! also, you keep your regular radio. that's what it comes through. so if you want to listen local you can.

6. Is my radio new enough that my Sirius with work with it wirelessly?

Your radio will be fine with the wireless fm signal that comes from sirius units but nobody gets good sound from using that. Definitely buy the optional RF Modulator to get a direct line into your radio for the true digital sound. Its only like $30 but sounds 100 times better. And if you're talking about your sirius antenna on your windshield it will sound perfect, thats where mine was on my grand am.

7. What is the difference between satallite radio and HD radio?

Satellite radio requires a monthly subscription fee. There are two competing formats , Sirius and another one. HD radio is over-the-air free digital radio. You get local stations. So, satellite has more channels, but you pay for it.

8. Radio whistles when I plug my sirius radio into my auxiliary plug in my radio. What should I do?

Most AUX plugs sound bad anyways. Yea, check the ground.

9. How do radios pick up radio signals for different stations?

Radios pick up all frequencies at once. It is the tuner that restricts what frequency is allowed to pass through. http://images.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://www.montek.com/cart/files/detail_images/d_15.jpgimgrefurl=http://www.montek.com/cart/catalog/FM-Radio-Tuner-88-108MHz-p-27090.htmlh=480w=640sz=42hl=enstart=8tbnid=qs5dyyHjkH9HmM:tbnh=103tbnw=137prev=/images%3Fq%3Dradio%2Btuner%26gbv%3D2%26hl%3Den%26sa%3DG

10. What makes a radio select and hold a specific frequency?

It is possible that there is a tuning capacitor at the back of your radio that needs to be adjusted to match the antenna to the radio input circuitry. If this match is not done, you may be picking up signals that are spurious. Check either your car's manual or the instruction book that came with your radio to find out if there is a tuning control like this on your set.

12. How do i listen to my old radio station after moving?

You might try first to see if the have a live broadcast on their Internet website. At least that way you can listen in the house and at work. After that, the only way to get it in your car is if your old station has a satellite link-up with one of the services. Very few do though right now. You just can't push a FM signal that kind of distance from North to South California unfortunately.

14. How do I get radio out of a 2000 VW Beetle?

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.
