SUPPLIED ACCESSORIES OPERATING THEORY
Electromagnetic radiation which has frequencies of
q w e r 20,000 Hz (20 kHz*) and above is called radio frequency (RF)
energy because it is useful in radio transmissions. The IC-
R20 receives RF energy from 0.150 MHz* to 3304.999 MHz
and converts it into audio frequency (AF) energy which in turn
actuates a loudspeaker to create sound waves. AF energy is
in the range of 20 to 20,000 Hz.
*kHz is an abbreviation of kilohertz or 1000 hertz, MHz is abbreviation
t y of megahertz or 1,000,000 hertz, where hertz is a unit of frequency.
