radio
AM/FM tuner device
Radio is the transmission of signals through electromagnetic waves, or a device that receives such transmissions.
As a medium, radio once dominated home entertainment before television: We listened to the radio during dinner.
The word also describes the technology itself: radio waves, radio frequency.
To radio is to communicate by radio transmission: The pilot radioed the tower.
A two-way radio allows both sending and receiving.
