* Basic Radio Theory
+
-
** all the wireless electronic communications methods are using radio waves
+
-
** radio waves are electromagnetic radiation, same as light, longer wavelength

+
-
* Wavelength / Frequency
+
-
** All radio transmissions have a wavelength
+
-
** The speed of radio is the same: 3 x 108 m/s (speed of light)
+
-
** The number of waves received at a spot per second changes with the wavelength. Shorter wavelength, higher frequency.
+
-
* Bands:
+
-
** VHF: 30 - 300 MHz: 10 m to 1 m
+
-
** UHF: 300MHz - 3 GHz: 1 m to 10 cm
+
-
* Longer wavelengths bend around hills easier
+
-
* Shorter frequencies can carry more information, packed closer together
+
-
* Some frequencies bounce off the high atmosphere easier
+
-
* Simplex: Transmit and receive on same frequency
+
-
** one at a time
+
-
* Duplex: Transmit and receive on different frequencies
+
-
** simultaneously
+
-
** typically using tower: repeater channels, cell phones
+
-
{{lesson slide|00:22|3 min}}
 
-
[[Image:Communications-Lesson-Slides.pdf|page=9|200px|right]]
 
-
* Power
 
-
** Power is measured in Watts (W)
 
-
** The more power the further the signal can be received
 
-
*** Generally: double the distance, 4 times the power
 
-
** advantages to less power?
 
-
*** Neighbours can share the same frequency
 
-
*** Batteries last longer
 
-
* Typical: 0.5 W FRS, 2 W GMRS, 3 W commercial handheld, 30 W commercial mobile, base station
 
-
** 5 W HAM portable

-
* Polarity
+
-
** compare with polarized glasses
+
-
** different types of antennas transmit and receive with different polar orientations
+
-
** keep antennas upright
+

-

+
-
* Signal Encoding
+
-
** AM: Amplitude Modulation
+
-
** FM: Frequency Modulation
+
-
*** more resistant to static interference
+
-
** Generally: established by band, fixed in radio
+
-
{{lesson slide|00:30|4 min}}

[[Image:Communications-Lesson-Slides.pdf|page=12|200px|right]]
+
-
* Squelch
+
-
** radio waves always present, but is it a real transmission?
+
-
*** Electromagnetic noise, interference
+
-
** suppress speaker based on signal strength
+
-
** squelch button: remove squelch
+
-
** CTSS: Continuous Tone Squelch System
+
-
*** very low frequency tone added to transmission, if not present, suppress speaker
+
-
*** tone is so low can't be heard by human ear (maybe elephant, whale!)
+
-
*** FRS sub-channels
+
-
*** 2 sub-channels of same channel can't be use at same time

== Notes ==
+
5 teams + base
-
{{prompt|Any additional notes, etc.}}
+
 
 +
Base Team
 +
- person likely to be at base
 +
- any that may need to leave early
 +
 
 +
Practice Objective: Create as big a circle as possible around Pincher
 +
Creek. Each team is in contact either directly or indirectly with
 +
base.
 +
 
 +
Vehicles
 +
- Driver (more experienced radio person)
 +
- Radio (less experienced radio person)
 +
 
 +
 
 +
- If no communications for 5 minutes head back towards base
 +
 
 +
- Base is in control
 +
 
 +
Underlying Objective: To practice proper use of radios.
 +
 
 +
Use the techniques we've described.
 +
 
 +
If you hear a communication that doesn't follow the protocol that
 +
we've learned, respond as if it was 'garbled'.
 +
 
 +
 
 +
Sometime between 20:30 and 21:00 everyone at base.
 +
 
 +
Follow up comments.
