Type 3 Algorithm

Cryptographic algorithm that has been registered by the National Institute of Standards and Technology and has been published as a Federal Information Processing Standard for use in protecting unclassified sensitive information or commercial information. NTIA

The US Government uses the type 3.

transmitter testing

When I'm bored, I go "transmitter testing". This generally refers to me picking a random VHF frequnecy and transmitting music over it. Because I have a Vertex VX-150 as well as a 35-watt VHF amplifier attached to it the range is about 20 or miles, depending on if I am transmitting at full power or fractional power levels. I like to chose frequencies that are not being used, generally its a business radio service frequency or Marine VHF channel. I have however, transmitted over weatheradio (162.400 to 162.550 MHz) channels are that really pisses people off.

This is all, of course, illegal.

Guy who lives next to me: "How come all I hear on my weatheradio is Jimi Hendrix and Men At Work?"

Me: "I'm just transmitter testing"

spread spectrum

A signal struc­turing tech­nique that employs direct se­quence, frequency hopping or a hybrid of these, which can be used for multiple access and/or multiple func­tions. This technique decreases the potential interfer­ence to other receivers while achieving privacy and increasing the immunity of spread spec­trum receivers to noise and interference. Spread spec­trum generally makes use of a sequential noise­‑like signal structure to spread the normally narrow­band informa­tion signal over a relatively wide band of frequencies. The receiver corre­lates the signals to retrieve the origi­nal informa­tion signal (NTIA)

Normal scanners cannot get spread spectrum transmissions.

Windows Media Player

Pretty good program, considering its made by microsoft. Although its really bad about slowing my computer down (it is an HP, which sucks)

Running, Call of Duty, AIM, Norton Antivirus and listening to my Smashing Pumpkins CD on Windows Media Player....computer actully slows down....thank you Windows XP

freeband

The term "freeband" pretty much refers to the 25.1000 MHz (25100.0 kHz) to 28.0000 MHz (28000.0 kHz) band, although people do operate "freeband" above those ranges, and into the 10-meter ham radio band (which is REALLY illegal). Freeband comes from the 26.9650 to 27.4050 MHz CB radio band. Because of heavy use of this band al around the world (in all modes, AM, SSB, FM). People started to modify thier CB radios to operate above or below (usally above, in the 27.4150 to 28.775 MHz range) the normal CB band. Really, this band has very little users, the military and government have a few channels, and 28.000 to 29.700 is ham radio, and there are a few channels allocated to the Forest Products Radio Service/Business Radio Pool.

The most common modulation mode is SSB.

The international calling frequency is 27.555 MHz (27555.0 kHz)

The DX-949 is a common freeband radio.
