Communication Two Way Radio

I work for a taxi firm at home and use a motorola radio,it was fine for weeks then started playing up sometimes I cannot hear drivers and sometimes they cannot hear me at all, this is only odd days and once it starts lasts for hours, do I need an ariel or is the problem from the main base unit as the quality is useless and makes work impossible, yet sometimes it is clear as a bell, please help!

You must have a service shop to handle problems like this. Take it in and have them check it out. If I had to guess, I'd say it could be a bad coax, but it could be many other things.

thanks for that info. it explained the R which means received so it can't be oscar because it starts with an O. but why chose the name roger or romeo...is it because it is easier said or spoken or the originator was named roger/romeo? thanks.

ROGER -- "in the meaning of 'Yes, O.K., I understand you -- is voice code for the letter R. It is part of the 'Able, Baker, Charlie' code known and used by all radiophone operators in the services. From the earliest days of wireless communication, the Morse code letter R (dit-dah-dit) has been used to indicate 'O.K. -- understood.' So 'Roger' was the logical voice-phone equivalent." "Morris Dictionary of Word and Phrase Origins" by William and Mary Morris (HarperCollins, New York, 1977, 1988).

"roger! A code word used by pilots to mean 'your message received and understood' in response to radio communications; later it came into general use to mean 'all right, OK.' Roger was the radio communications code word for the letter R, which in this case represented the word 'received.' 'Roger Wilco' was the reply to 'Roger' from the original transmitter of the radio message, meaning 'I have received your message that you have received my message and am signing off.

In wireless communications, we use phonetics:

A: Alpha
B: Bravo
C: Charlie
D: Delta
E: Echo
F: Foxtrot
G: Golf
H: Hotel
I: India
J: Juliet
K: Kilo
L: Lima
M: Mike
N: November
O: Oscar
P: Papa
Q: Quebec
R: Romeo
S: Sierra
T: Tango
U: Uniform
V: Victor
W: Whisky
X: X-Ray
Y: Yankee
Z: Zebra

If you use the word Oscar instead of Roger, it would mean 'O'.

These phonetics, Q-signs for Ham Radio operators, terms used by pilots etc are all governed by the International Telecommunications Union (ITU) which is the regulatory authority for radio communications. The ITU operates under the UN.

We cannot use 'Oscar' because that would require an amendment in the ITU standard terminology for radio communications. Getting that amended would be a Herculean task since all signatory countries of the ITU will have to endorse such a move and all pilots, ship radio officers, military signal corps, ham radio operators etc etc etc will have to adopt the new term.

I'm a security guard and we use two-way radios for communication but I'm going to be getting a CB radio and was wondering if it's possible to use it to talk to a two way radio. Like would it be the same frequency or the same channel as on the two way? Thanks.

Definitely not. CB channels are between 26.965 MHz (channel 1) and 27.405 MHz (channel 40). The majority of two-way communication radios use frequencies between 460 MHz and 470 MHz.

motorola sets basically used for security purposes

probably not much unless it is a frequency closed by the fcc, or, monitored by the fcc. then you may have to sign some thing that says you will not use the frequency for certain activities etc. you need a license for some frequencies so thats the only issue. I'm not sure if you can rent a radio that is on a frequency that requires a license. If so, thats probably all you have to do is sign some kind of agreement.
