Gone are the days when using two way radios were meant exclusively for the police and military personnel. Breaking the shackle from being the special privilege of the police and the defence forces, they are now within the reach of common man. Be it a family shopping in a mall together or two friends enjoying exciting a road trip separately, these radios provide them with wireless connectivity and help them trace out each other.

Two way radios are simple ways of staying connected wirelessly. Though they cover only a limited area, the cost-effective quality of the radios keeps them far above the other means of communication. The best thing about the radios is that there is no per minute call charge. This means that you will not need to pay any network provider for the time you talk on the radio.

Radio Telegraph Transmitter is essentially similar to radio telephone transmitter except for the following differences firstly in the place of a conventionally telephone modulator, a telegraph modulator is used, secondly modulation is done at a lower carrier power level and thirdly class c amplifiers are used throughout, even after modulation since bandwidth involved is small. Further for radio telegraphy work, it is not essential to have the transmitter highly free from noise and hum modulation. In practice even self rectifying circuits with large hum are often used. There are two basic methods of telegraph modulation. Accordingly radio telegraph transmitters may be classified into two categories firstly those using amplitude modulation of the carrier and secondly those using frequency modulation of the carrier. Amplitude modulation radio telegraph radio telegraph transmitters are of two types. The first type is those using amplitude modulation of the carrier. The second type is those using frequency modulation of the carrier. Continue reading →

People have loved listening to music, stories and the current events that occur around them from tales told by traveling bands of people, bards, anyone who is knowledgeable about those matters. As civilizations became more advanced the methods of communication changed. The predecessor to our modern radios – antique radios – allowed our parents and grandparents the ability to hear news from distant places, stories and even music.

These antique radios are all but unseen today. You can however still find a few of these antique radios in various places like garage sales, second hand dealers, antique shops, museums and old radio parts shops.
While most of these radios will not be in pristine condition, you may find a few that are in prime working condition. These might need a bit of a tune-up or replacement parts added here and there but for the most part you will find they can still deliver the goods.

As these antique radios are somewhat hard to find in mint condition you should expect to pay a fairly high price for one that is in total working mint condition. The different varieties of these old radios ensured that people in those times had a choice of radio styles to fit their budget and their home environment.

While you will see that almost all of our radios are on the compact and portable side the antique radios of yesteryear are large sized models that you could only move with the aid of movers. Even though these antique radios are quite bulky to move they are still desired pieces of history.

Now when you are looking to buy antique radios there are various items that should be looked at before you make a purchase. The first item that is important is that of the price. Even if you like how an old radio looks if you can’t afford it there is no point in looking at this radio any longer. You should also check to see if the antique radio is still in perfect to fine working order. Continue reading →
