What does CH mean in FBI FILES

CH stands for Channelized. It's an innovative way of organizing and managing radio frequencies for broadcasting and communications.

CH separates radio transmissions into distinct channels. Each channel can be assigned to any type of data or transmission, from music to voice messages, allowing more bandwidth and improved signal strength.

Using CH allows for better control over the quality of radio transmissions. It reduces interference, making it easier to communicate clearly with fewer errors or dropped signals. Additionally, since there are fewer transmissions on each channel, power efficiency is greatly improved over traditional methods.

Professionals in many industries rely on CH technology for their daily communication needs, including public safety personnel such as police officers and firefighters; military personnel; national broadcast networks; aerospace engineers; medical professionals; and amateur radio enthusiasts.

The cost depends on several factors such as size, components used, and customization options requested by the customer. Generally speaking, commercial-grade systems will cost several thousand dollars to several hundred thousand dollars depending on these variables. Residential-grade systems are significantly less expensive but may still range in the hundreds of dollars due to their features and capabilities.

Typically the answer is yes - most countries require users to obtain either an individual or business license in order to operate a channelized system legally. The exact requirements vary by jurisdiction so we recommend consulting with an appropriate local authority if you have any questions about applicable regulations or licensing requirements in your area.

Yes - because each channel carries only one type of transmission at a time (as opposed to multiple overlapping signals), it requires less energy overall than traditional methods of communication which can cause interference with other signals. Additionally, newer models are designed for better power efficiency than older ones, reducing consumption even further when deployed properly in the field.

Generally speaking yes - as long as your antenna is compatible with the frequency range of your radios/receivers it should be able to receive incoming transmissions from your channels without issue. However there are some specialized antennas (e.g., Yagi) that may provide better reception in certain environments if needed/desired so we recommend consulting with an expert before making any decisions about which antenna(s) would work best for you or your organization’s needs and budget.

In most cases this isn't necessary - all modern radios/receivers should come pre-equipped with channels already set up according to whatever frequency range they’ve been configured for (e.g., UHF or VHF). If you do need to make modifications you'll want to make sure you understand how different frequencies interact so that you don't cause interference between two channels trying to access the same frequency range simultaneously.
