Inventor of The 2 way radio

The world is full of really cool, well written articles. Whenever you find one which catches your eye, you have to post it, well i do! so with consent of the original blogger i’ve re-posted this to get pleasure from

The pioneer nonpareil of wireless telecommunications is Al Gross. In 1938, he invented the walkie-talkie. In 1948, he pioneered Citizens’ Band (CB) radio. In 1949, he invented the telephone pager. His other inventions include the basics of cordless and cellular telephony.

Gross was born in Toronto in 1918, but grew up in Cleveland, Ohio. He discovered his lifelong enthusiasm for Walkie Talkie on a steamboat trip on Lake Erie at age 9, after the ship’s radio operator let him listen to the wireless. By age 12, Gross had turned his basement into a radio headquarters, with equipment patched together from junkyards. At age 16, he obtained his amateur radio license — still in effect today.

Gross’ interest and ability had increased by the time he entered the BSEE program at Cleveland’s Case School of Applied Sciences (now part of Case Western Reserve University) in 1936. Determined to exploit the unexplored frequencies above 100 MHz, Gross set about inventing a mobile, lightweight, hand-held two-way radio. In two years, Gross had invented and patented the “walkie-talkie” (1938).

At that time, the Communications Group of the US Office of Strategic Services (OSS) was eager to develop a portable, two-way, air-to-ground communications system. The OSS recruited Gross, who worked for them throughout World War II. By 1941, Gross designed both a ground unit, “Joan,” and an airborne unit, “Eleanor,” which communicated with each other via Hertzian radio waves in a manner virtually impossible to monitor, even behind enemy lines.

The units had an effective range of about 30 miles. The transceiver of the ground unit weighed only 3 1/2 pounds, with a collapsible antenna, and was powered by two B and two D batteries. It could easily be carried and hidden by a soldier on hostile ground. The airborne unit, carried most often in British “Mosquito” bombers, was more complicated, heavier, and fitted with an adjustable, external antenna to transmit and receive at pre-arranged polarization. Although Gross’ Top Secret system was not declassified until 1976, the US Joint Chiefs of Staff have called it one of the most successful wireless intelligence gathering methods ever employed.

After the War, the FCC, which had become aware of Gross’ work, allocated the first frequencies for personal radio service, the Citizens Radio Service Frequency Band (1946). Gross formed a company, Citizens Radio Corporation, to produce two-way radios for personal use; in 1948, his company�ipment was the first to receive FCC approval for use in the new “Citizens’ Band.” Gross sold about 100,000 units himself, most of them to farmers and to the US Coast Guard; he also licensed the technology to various electronics companies.

In 1949, Gross made another breakthrough: he adapted his two-way radios for cordless remote telephonic signaling. That is, he invented and patented the telephone pager, by building discriminating circuitry into a pocket-sized wireless receiver that responded selectively to specific signals. Gross intended for his invention to be used by doctors; and so he attended a medical convention in Philadelphia that year. Nearly all of those healthcare professionals worried the device would upset their patients or even interrupt their golf games. However, New York’s Jewish Hospital did implement Gross’ pager system the next year (1950).

In the 1950s, Gross tried — again, in vain — to interest US telephone companies in his inventions and ideas for mobile telephony. Bell Telephone was not interested, and other companies were afraid of Bell’s monopoly on transmission lines. The FCC, to which Gross had demonstrated his pager system in 1950, finally approved his transceivers in 1958.

Gross continued to invent, earning a total of 12 patents, through the 1950s and ’60s. Eventually, he began working for large corporations, such as Sperry and General Electric, as a specialist in microwave and other electronic communications systems. Since 1990, he has been Senior Staff Engineer at Orbital Sciences Corp.’s Chandler, Arizona facility, where he directs analysis of various electromagnetic elements of aerospace, satellite and military systems.

Besides working full-time, Gross also pursues personal projects. But his greatest enthusiasm is for the presentations he frequently gives to local elementary and high school students on technology and invention. Thus, as Gross likes to put it, “People learn from the old guy who did it the hard way.”

Gross was too far ahead of his time to cash in on his inventions: his patents expired long before the public was ready for CB radio, cell phones and pagers. But his love of the work outweighs any regrets: he always smiles when he says, “If I still had the patents on my inventions, Bill Gates would have to stand aside for me.”

On the other hand, Al Gross has been rich in honors and awards. He has followed up Commendations from the US Defense Department (1969) and President Reagan (1981) with about a dozen awards from national organizations like the IEEE. Most recently, Al Gross won the 2000 Lemelson MIT Lifetime Achievement Award. Gross was honored at the sixth annual Lemelson-MIT Awards Ceremony, held at the American Museum of Natural History in New York on April 27, 2000. .

Pc Ian Johnson trial Officer gave dangerous fugitive lift home in his POLICE CAR, court hears

Wow. The brand new walkie talkie gps is breathtaking. I mean it is just so beautiful and so highly developed. I pity individuals who grew up without the midland xt22 2-way radio.

A police officer helped a dangerous criminal evade capture by driving him home while colleagues were still trying to trace him, a court heard.

While the manhunt was under way, Pc Ian Johnson, 38, picked up the the man suspected of carrying out two assaults in a pub in Hyde in Manchester, before giving him a lift home without telling colleagues, jurors were told.
But the officer denies a charge of misconduct in a public office, saying he failed to arrest the burly ‘animal’ only because he was scared for his life, the Manchester Evening News reports.

Jurors at Liverpool Crown Court heard Pc Johnson, a father of a nine-year-old daughter with 15 years in the police, was one of the officers who responded to reports of two assaults at The Albion pub in Hyde town centre.
The violence happened on November 23, 2012, just two months after two of Pc Johnson’s colleagues at Hyde police station, Fiona Bone, 32, and Nicola Hughes, 23, had been slaughtered in a gun-and-grenade attack by fugitive Dale Cregan.
The murder had an ‘unimaginable’ affect on staff at Hyde, according to Pc Johnson, who told the jurors how officers had been taught how to react when a grenade was thrown at them: “Lie on the floor and try to point your feet towards the hand grenade. If you’re lucky the blast will just hit your feet and legs and not your heart.”

It was amid such heightened tensions, according to the officer, that police responded to the assaults at The Albion.
But when officers arrived, the suspect had fled to another pub and Pc Johnson was scrambled to The Queen Adelaide in Hattersley to arrest him, the court heard.
When the officer joined a colleague who was already at the scene, the pair agreed it was too dangerous to go inside what was said to be a notorious pub, said Pc Johnson, who admitted he got onto the police two Way Radio and lied to colleagues by suggesting he had searched the pub and the suspect had fled onto the estate at the rear.

The suspect was named in court as Anthony Blakeley, 35, who it was said had a significant criminal history, which included offences of firearms and violence as well as an escape from custody.
Mr Blakeley, with 101 offences to his name, was said to be a cage-fighter who at the time was 15-stone of ‘solid muscle’.
“He’s an animal,” said Pc Johnson.
In fact Mr Blakeley was in the pub, the jurors were told.
When his colleague had driven away to another job, Pc Johnson turned his car around and picked up the suspect in his liveried patrol car before taking him to his home in Hattersley.

Pc Johnson apologised to the jurors about lying on the police radio – ‘it wasn’t one my better days’ – but insisted he had not at first recognised the man who had flagged him down outside the pub until he sat in his car seat, claiming the patrol car had been mistaken for a taxi.

The officer said he had feared for his life: “I thought ‘if it’s ever going to happen to me it would happen now. I thought I was in danger of being killed.”
Mr Blakeley was drunk and veered between being aggressive and in tears during the trip, during which the officer said he had managed to calm the suspect down.

Pc Johnson, who denied he had any ‘allegiance’ to the man, told the jurors he told Mr Blakeley he would come and arrest him the following day.
But the officer was arrested at his own home in Hyde before he began his next shift.
The trial continues.

Motorsport Comms with Kenwood Nexedge two Way Radio

With a huge amount of information on the internet about zartek two way radio prices’s it’s hard to find the top and generally direct articles. here’s a piece of writing from a good website that i believe as factual, don’t quote me on it but please read and enjoy

Every employer has a duty of care under the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974, to ensure so far as is reasonably practicable, the health, safety and welfare of all its employees in the workplace and equally that persons not in their employment are “not exposed to risks to their health and safety so far as is reasonably practicable” – with the Corporate Manslaughter and Corporate Homicide Act introduced in 2007, the implications for enterprises in the public and private sectors of not taking lone worker protection seriously have escalated.

Walkie Talkies are already widely in use in lone worker applications across chemical and manufacturing plants, utilities, mining, security and transport industries where personnel often cover large, remote areas or operate in hazardous environments.

However, with the increase in flexible working times, care in the community services, home deliveries and reductions in workforces operating from fixed locations, more people than ever are now operating as lone workers, often in situations where they may be exposed to potential accidents and inappropriate or violent behaviour.

While the reliability and quality of any Kenwood two-way radio would prove to be an asset in most lone worker scenarios, the NEXEDGE® range of digital two-way hand portable walkie talkies and mobile in-vehicle two-way radio units offer much more than the ability to transmit voice and data instantly and efficiently.

All models feature Emergency Key and Emergency Call features as standard, while some advanced models additionally offer Lone Worker and an Emergency Advanced Motion Detection Function, which make them ideal for incorporating within a robust health and safety and lone worker policy.

NEXEDGE® Digital Two-way Radios with Lone Worker features include both hand-portable walkie talkies and mobile in-vehicle units.

So i discovered this post on the web and i heard that just posting it like a whole article isn’t a good thing, I got consent from the original writer and read up the way to curate posts, so that is it…….i thought this was fascinating as it highlights some of the highs and lows that I encountered when i was working within the business.

Bit Torrent website IsoHunt.com, a popular website that specializes in downloadable content, is being shut down following a court settlement.

The site, which was founded in 2003, was extremely popular with users. Some 7.4 million viewers had visited the site within three years of it going live. At its peak, Isohunt received an average of 40 million searches a month.

In response to the California court�s ruling, IsoHunt�s founder Gary Fung wrote on his blog that �its sad to see my baby go�.

The problems began when a group of major corporations, including Disney, Paramount and 20th Century Fox, accused the site of copyright infringement. A large portion of IsoHunt�s Torrent files contained copyrighted material, such as movies, TV shows and music albums.

The court case has taken more than 7 years to reach its conclusion, but a decision has finally been made.

Mr Fung has been ordered to pay $110m (�68m) to the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA), but since neither he, nor his company has access to funds of this kind, it is estimated that the MPAA will only receive $2-$4m from Fung.

It should be noted, however, that IsoHunt did not actually upload any pirated material. According to Mr. Fung, the IsoHunt users were ultimately responsible for what they made available for download, as opposed to the site itself, which merely served as a directory for available content.

Nevertheless, MPAA Chairman Chris Dodd was pleased with the Court�s decision, saying, “The successful outcome of this landmark lawsuit will also will help preserve jobs and protect the tens of thousands of businesses in the creative industries, whose hard work and investments are exploited by sites like IsoHunt.”

Fung has argued elsewhere that, if the entertainment industry was to fully embrace digital media (for example by lowering prices and offering simultaneous digital releases), it could easily render sites like his obsolete.

The website http://www.piracydata.org, which is run by a team of researchers from Virginia, US, has suggested that, of the top 10 most pirated movies of the week, half were unavailable for legal download and none were available for streaming, making piracy the only option for viewers wishing to watch these films over the Internet.

But how damaging is online piracy to Hollywood�s profit margins? The 2008 James Cameron movie �Avatar�, for example, has been listed as �the most pirated film of all time�, after being downloaded something like 21million times worldwide. However, the movie still garnered $600m in DVD sales in the US alone, which is not taking rentals into account (which garnered a further $57m, again, just in the US). This indicates that a considerable number of people are downloading the movie as well as buying the DVD/Blu Ray release.

Not everyone in the film and television industries is opposed to piracy either. Musician, actor and spoken word performer Henry Rollins has repeatedly stated that he�d �rather be heard than paid� and Vince Gilligan, creator of the popular US TV show �Breaking Bad� has said that piracy helped his show to be successful, by increasing �brand awareness� of his product.

In a Q&A session on Reddit, Gary Fung said, “I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race and I have remained faithful. 10.5 years of IsoHunt has been a long journey by any business definition and forever in Internet start-up time�.
Regardless of the debates, the Isohunt site will likely be completely shut down by the time you read this.

Motorola Loses Ex-Handset Head

Article of the Day………ok so i haven’t got an article seven days a week, but when i get an opportunity I�ll post articles I find fascinating. Fortunate enough here�s one of those articles that I read and had to share. Should you enjoy it as much as me, please add one of those special social media likes, you know the one which tells one and all you loved something, rather then you sat on your arse and watched TV!

Former Mobile Device division president Stu Reed has left Motorola Inc. (NYSE: MOT) less than a year after he had been put in place to turn the company’s struggling Walkie Talkie handset business around.

Motorola’s release, issued Friday evening, said simply that Reed “has decided to leave the Company, effective immediately.” (See Motorola Exec Departs.)

Reed moved up to lead the handset unit in July 2007 after a long search to replace Ron Garriques, who had left in February of that year. But last month, Reed was nudged aside as Motorola CEO Greg Brown took control of the ailing division himself. (See Moto Names New Device Chief and iPhone Inspires Handset Headhunt.)

The handset unit has been struggling for more than a year, seeking to regain the success it had previously found with the RAZR phone. (See The Perils of Being Slim and Moto Losing Ground.)

In fact, Motorola recently lost its place as the second largest global mobile phone vendor behind Nokia Corp. (NYSE: NOK). The silver position now goes to South Korean giant Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd. (Korea: SEC), with Sony Ericsson Mobile Communications challenging Motorola as well.

Reporting its most recent earnings, Motorola gave no indication when the situation might turn around. The Schaumberg, Ill.-based firm’s mobile devices revenue in the fourth quarter of 2007 was $4.8 billion, down 38 percent from a year earlier. The division recorded an operating loss of $388 million in the fourth quarter, compared to operating earnings of $341 million in the same quarter the previous year. (See Motorola Quiet on Device Turnaround .)

Motorola’s options for the handset business include a spinoff. (See Moto Considers the Splits.)

Reed isn’t the only executive to leave recently. Chief marketing officer Kenneth “Casey” Keller resigned at the end of February; Motorola says it plans to eliminate the CMO position altogether.

Evolution Of Walkie Talkies

Thanks for reading my site, here’s a piece i really loved reading. With their consent i can repost it. I compose many of my own articles, but sporadically post other content i find fascinating, thankyou for reading.

Walkie Talkies are extremely generally employed for communication between two points. The half duplex channels allow just one radio to deliver at some point of your time and also the other would need to just listen. It is just one of the ways communication that’s possible so you might also want to think about things like walkie talkies in general that should in essence help you with business growth.

They’ve built-in loudspeakers inside them and therefore don’t need to possess a separate headset like what telephone to become held towards the ear.

The hand-held models are much like box radio but fitted by having an antenna and both models get linked to r / c that transmit and receive messages from the fixed point or range.

The loan of inventing the very first radio transmitter and receiver would go to Motorola. Motorola produced and created the term ‘walkie talkie’ and also the model was known as Motorola SCR -300 that took it’s origin from frequency modulation. This version would be a backpack mounted version.

It had been throughout The Second World War that Motorola created the ?Handi Talkie”, the older sort of the current ‘walkie talkie’. The performance wasn’t just like the ‘walkietalkie’ but nonetheless it had been the first all-in-one and handheld device which was obtainable in the industry.

Today you receive a large amount of models and types of ‘walkie talkie’ that are offered to be used in various reasons and you might also want to look into two way radios which can be quite hard to do so if you have not got the specialist skills. The costs also because the range and excellence of the products vary based upon its usage. They are today used in a number of programs including defense sector, outside entertainment, various companies in addition to public crowd management and security agencies.

With enhanced technology the ‘walkietalkie’ also have become sophisticated, smaller sized and user friendly. The commercial ‘walkietalkie’ are usually lots of studier, bigger sets with protective casing and work on limited wavelengths however with clearness. However the private and individual sets are usually sleeker, compact and lightweight weight and may work on many channels that are offered inside the band, but sometimes don’t have any clearness that might also include the obvious like Kenwood TK3301 that is likely to lead you onto business growth here.

You receive ‘walkie talkie’ for children too. They are very fundamental and minimalist featured models and low tech when in comparison towards the others. They’re not so costly and don’t need a license and operate within a variety of couple of meters only.

Walkie Talkies – Useful Communication Devices

So i discovered this short article on the internet and i understand that just posting it as the whole piece is not a good thing, I got permission from the original author and read up how to curate content, so that is it…….i thought this was fascinating because it highlights some of the highs and lows that I encountered when i was working within the industry.

A two way radio also known as “Walkie Talkie,” is generally a handheld device that can be used for a variety of purposes. The most common and popular use of this type of a radio is for communication. Such a radio can be used for sending and receiving data or signals at the same time. This makes these devices convenient to use.

Two way radios or walkie talkies often work where cell phones stop working. Two Way Radios traditionally do not rely on network towers or network service providers and are helpful for immediate conversation in remote zones. Two Way Radios are a cost-effective solution for communicating at remote localities and within a limited range.

These days, Two Way Radios including the move to Digital Two Way Radios come with an extensive range of features. These features have been developed specifically to the needs of today’s users.
