P a g e | 25 Radio Glossary Analog Radio – Radio in which voice signals are sent over the air in an unaltered form and are heard the same time they are communicated (Human voice is an analog signal.) Antenna – Any structure or device used to collect or radiate radio waves Bank – Same as zone Base Station – A fixed radio station that receives or transmits on particular frequencies but not simultaneously Car to Car – Same as direct Channel – Radio frequency utilized for transmitting or receiving (or both) radio signals Conventional Radio System – A nontrunked radio system. Everyone with access to a channel hears all audio transmitted over that channel. User determines availability by listening for an open channel before transmitting. (Similar to a telephone party line) Digital Radio – A radio in which audio and signaling information are encoded from natural format to form a digital data stream. Digital radios that receive the digital data stream convert information back to intelligible voice and signaling. Direct – To communicate with another radio without using a repeater. To receive and transmit on the same frequency. Encryption – A radio technology that converts plain, intelligible audio into an unintelligible signal. Radios with encryption technology have the ability to receive the unintelligible signal and convert it to plain audio. FCC – Federal Communications Commission Federal Communications Commission – The federal government agency that regulates use of the radio spectrum Gateway – A device that electronically connects two or more fundamentally different communications networks. This temporary connection allows interoperability between different communications networks. GHZ – Abbreviation for Gigahertz Gigahertz – A unit of frequency denoting 1 billion hertz Group – Same as Zone Hertz – A unit of frequency in cycles per second. A hertz is one cycle per second.
P a g e | 26 HZ – Abbreviation for Hertz Mic- Abbreviation for microphone KHZ – Abbreviation for Kilohertz Kilohertz – A unit of frequency denoting 1000 hertz Megahertz – A unit of frequency denoting 1 million hertz MHZ – Abbreviation for Megahertz Mic – Abbreviation for microphone Microphone – Audio transducer that converts audio into electronic signals for transmission Mobile – A two-way radio unit mounted in a car, boat, plane, etc. and used while in motion or at various stops Monitor – Listen to a radio channel to ensure frequency is free of radio traffic before transmitting Narrowbanding – An FCC order that requires all radio users operating in the VHF and UHF bands to migrate from a wide-channel/frequency to a narrow-channel/frequency. Wide-channel operation will not be allowed after January 1, 2013. P25 – Abbreviation of Project 25 Pager – A receive-only communications device that alerts the user when receiving a voice or text message Point-to-Point – Transmissions made from one fixed location to another fixed location (between PSAPs) Portable – A battery-powered, hand-held two-way radio unit that is carried on the person Project 25 – A joint government/industry standards-setting effort to develop the next generation of public safety radios, both voice and data PSAP – Public Safety Answering Point. The location where dispatchers answer 911 calls (for example, State Radio or any of the 21 N.D. dispatch centers). PTT – Abbreviation for Push to Talk Push-to-Talk Switch – The switch on a microphone (mobile or lapel mic) or a portable that, when pressed, causes radio to transmit Repeater – A radio station that receives on a certain frequency and simultaneously transmits on another frequency
P a g e | 27 Simplex – Same as Direct Squelch – A radio control that eliminates noise from the speaker Subscriber Radio – Mobile or portable radios Talk Around – Same as Direct Tower – A vertical communications structure. Communications antennas are installed at or near the top of the structure to negate the impact of surrounding geography. Transmit Indicator – Typically a light or icon on the radio that indicates radio is in transmit mode Trunking Radio System – An electronically controlled, shared radio system that integrates multiple communications channels into a single radio system. By design, a trunking system with a relatively small number of channels can effectively handle a relatively large number of users. UHF Band – Abbreviation for Ultra-high Frequency Band. For first responder radio purposes, the frequency/radio channels range from 450 MHZ to 470 MHZ (excluding federal agencies). VHF Band – Abbreviation for Very High Frequency Band. For first responder radio purposes, the frequency/radio channels range from 150 MHZ to 170 MHZ. (Almost all first responder radios and radio systems within North Dakota are in the VHF frequency band.) Volume Control – An adjustable control on a subscriber radio that increases or decreases to receive audio level. Typically either a rotary or push-button control. Zone – A grouping of radio channels defined within subscriber radio. Typically utilized when radio is programmed with a large number of radio channels (greater than 16 channels).

Radios with encryption technology have the ability to receive the unintelligible signal and convert it to plain audio. FCC – Federal Communications Commission Federal Communications Commission – The federal government agency that regulates use of the radio spectrum Gateway – A device that electronically connects two or more fundamentally different communications networks. This temporary connection allows interoperability between different communications networks. GHZ – Abbreviation for Gigahertz Gigahertz – A unit of frequency denoting 1 billion hertz Group – Same as Zone Hertz – A unit of frequency in cycles per second. A hertz is one cycle per second.
