Is it worth it to buy a two way radio for a trip to Walt Disney World. I was thinking this may be useful for keeping in contact with other members of our party in the park, but I’m not sure about the range coverage. Any thoughts on this?
Also if you think this may work, any recommendations on what kind of radios to get?

Thanks

Yes it’s VERY worth the purchase.

Most 2 way radios, aka Walkie Talkies, have range limits from a mile to 10 miles. I suggest purchasing a 6 mile or larger range since you’re headed to Disney World. While I’ve never been there & have been to the California counterpart, a 6 mile or larger range limit is ideal.

Bear in mind that you may not be the only one with 2 way radios in the park. Other people may have the same idea. Regardless of the brand you buy, you’ll have others’ interferrance on your channels. Some channels will have more people on them than others. The best thing to do is change channels every hour. Before doing so, inform your other party members first. Do NOT give out the channel number on the radio! For example, you could say, "There’s a lot of others on this channel. Let’s go up 2 channels." Check that everyone’s there, then say "Ok, now let’s go up 3 more.” Again, checking to make sure everyone’s on the same channel with a quick, "Everyone here?" This keeps the nosy listeners off your channel & harder to tune into your conversations. Also remember, these aren’t meant for extended talking on. They’re meant for quick location meeting confirmations of a lost/missing party member or to give details about where to meet, etc.

Some people will tell you one brand is better than another. I disagree. I’ve had Motorola, Uniden & Audiovox brands. They all worked pretty much the same. I currently have a Uniden set of 2 that I use with my son. Your best option is to buy enough sets for your party to have at least one or 2 people in each group to have a 2 way radio. For example, if you have 3 groups of 5 people, buy 3 packs of radios. They’re sold in packs of 2. The extra one can be given to another adult or saved as a back up.

When you first buy them, test them out around your home. Check the range out yourself before your trip to Disney World. There’s nothing worse than buying 2 way radios, going on a fun trip & not having them work properly. Charge ALL the radios on the chargers for the time suggested in the directions. Most radios will last for several hours in stand by mode.

Buy all the same brand, Motorola, Uniden, etc for your group. Most brands don’t interact with others on the channel’s frequency. So if you’re buying Uniden, buy 3 2 packs of the same radios.

They’re not waterproof or water resistant either. For going on water rides where you might or know you’ll get wet, ask someone else in your party who’s done on the ride to hold your radio for you. Even turned off it can still get water damage from the water ride through the speaker.

Have fun on your trip!

Hello,
I’ve noticed that a lot of my classical online radio stations play music that is very cheerful and upbeat. Does anyone know any online radio stations that play classical music at a bit darker level?
Thanks.

KUSC. It is a PBS affiliated station operated by the University Of Southern California. They play a full spectrum of classical music (not just the most popular) and will even play more contemporary composers like John Adams and Phillip Glass. You’ll hear everyone from Rachmaninoff to Ives to Beethoven to Telemann. The more ’serious’ music is usually played in the evening.

They also broadcast live performances from the Met (Saturday mornings) and the San Francisco Symphony (Sunday evenings)

The number of production hours is limited to 300h per week.The plants capacity is limited to a total of 18 radios per week,and existing orders require that atleast 4am radios and atleast 3 Am/Fm radios be produced per week.Write a system of inequalities representing this situation.

You’re asking for inequalities and my brain says this:
I’m gonna use these symbols <= => for less than or equal to and greater than or equal to as i don’t have that symbol available.

x=am radios y=fm/am radios
15x+20y <=300
x+y<=18
x>=4
y>=3

that’s them all.

Alright, so there is this online radio I am applying as a DJ for. The only problem us, I don’t know what software or whatever I need for it. The website is drivehabbos.com if it helps. I have a microphone and everything, I just need to know how to get the software or to get on. Thank you!

recheck the weblink as it wouldn’t come back to valid computer address and a search of whois didn’t bring up anything either.

Usually webcasters if they are looking for people will tell what programs they want to use (or will supply the programs)

without seeing the site however..I can’t help you

Looking to get a good portable radio. Any portable HD’s yet?

No matter how good the quality of sound you get, it is only as good as the crap that is broadcast.

I do and even make sure I hear every single word he and his supporters say on the radio on high sound. I don’t know makes me feel all happy inside.

Yes I am a pro Obama person.

How about you?

To tell you the truth, I’m an Obama supporter and I’m even getting tired of HIS ads. I tired of all of them. Nov. 4th can’t come soon enough.

Can u use an MP3 or MP4 player for storing podcasts from say radio stations so that u can listen to them later. Or do u need an ipod player.

If you can download the podcast as a music file (usually mp3 since that is the common format that most players will recognize) then you should be able to store it on any media player that plays that format. You will be able to transfer it to your player just like a music track.
The only difference may be within the player itself. If it is a long podcast, they player may start from the beginning each time you listen to it instead of remembering where you last left off.
I used to download radio podcasts and listen to them on my cell phone since it played mp3 files.

I like internet radio because I sometimes hear songs I’ve not heard before, but most of the time I prefer my own playlist so I can control the quality of songs my kids hear. What’s your preference?

Both, I guess it depends on what mood I am in. somedays I want to hear selective songs, other days I let the radio select what I hear.

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?

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,
