Understanding Comms Episode 3.

[Scythe13]

OMG!!! You now have got an amazing understanding of comms!

Ready to get even more tech? HAHA, nor me. Let's just expand on what you've got.

Let's get good old SD, his radio, and his 2 trusty sidekicks, HL and Beardyman, with their radios.

Radios have 5 components, remember. Now, let's imagine SD's radio is set to send and receive yellow signals (frequency).
Highlander is set to send Blue signal, but receive yellow.
Beardyman is set to receive blue and send yellow.

Okay, let's start this off.

SD sends a yellow signal.
HL can hear SD because HL has a yellow receiver.
BM can't hear SD because BM has a blue receiver.

HL sends a blue signal.
SD can't hear HL because SD has a yellow receiver.
BM can hear HL because BM has a blue receiver.

BM sends a yellow signal.
HL can hear BM because HL has a yellow receiver.
SD can hear BM because SD has a yellow receiver.

If you can't see that, right it out on a piece of paper. It'll look like this

R= Receive
T = Transmit

SkeanDhude = Yellow T and Yellow R.
Highlander = Blue T and Yellow R.
Beardyman = Yellow T and Blue R.

To hear someone, the sender needs to have the same T colour (frequency) as the listener's R colour (frequency).

It's a tiny bit more complicated, but damn, if you got this, you're blazing!!! Remember the T's and R's for their meaning, Transmit and Receive. They'll come in handy later. But for now, it's all good. Just need to know the above and understand how it works.
