In the field we use PRC-126 radios to talk to each other. These radios cover a wide range of frequencies. When we are bored we sometimes tune in a local tv freq just to listen to it through the hand mic.
The radio will also transmit on those freq. I think it makes sense that if the radio was transmitting near a television, the tv would pick up the audio from the radio.
A buddy of mine says that would not happen.
I think that the only two reasons the tv would not pick up the audio from the radio are: The station signal is too strong for the transmission from the small portable radio to have any effect. Or the signal from the radio is not formatted for the tv. I dont think it would be the latter because the radio seems to play the audio from the station’s signal fine.
So what would happen if the radio was transmitting near a tv on the same freq as the tv station?
Nothing because the station signal is too strong?
Nothing because it’s the wrong format?
The tv will play whatever audio you broadcast?
The tv will play both the stations audio and yours?
The tv will show signs of signal interference and thats it.
It has to be one of those, right? My buddy argues that nothing at all will happen. I think that ‘something’ has to happen. Even the vacuum cleaner causes interference…
