TREK TRIVIA:

  "I've been monitoring some of their old-style radio waves." (Uhura, TOS "Bread and Circuses")

  Humpback whales George and Gracie were tagged with the radio frequency of 401 megahertz prior to their to their release into the wild from the Cetacean Institute. (ST4)

  Data picked up low-level R.F. waves from Drema IV in 2365. (TNG "Pen Pals")

  Intersat Code was a radio code adopted by humans to communicate with other sentient lifeforms shortly after First Contact in 2063 and used in the mid-21st century by Earth's first colony ships. (TAS "The Terratin Incident")

  Harry Mudd used subspace frequency 39 to contact the lithium mining station on Rigel XII (TOS "Mudd's Women")

KIRK:       Spock, find the radio station. Uhura's monitoring the broadcasts. Cut in and have
                 yourselves beamed up to the ship.
       < At the radio station when Spock neck-pinches a woman technician >
MCCOY:  You do that very well. Now, how are you with primitive radio equipment? 
SPOCK:   Very simple. Amplitude modulation transmission. I simply adjust the frequency,
                  throw this switch, and the Enterprise should answer.  < ... >  Let me see...
        < Spock throws a few more switches and picks up the microphone. >
SPOCK:    Enterprise, this is Mister Spock. 
UHURA:   Lieutenant Uhura here. Mister Spock, what are you doing on this frequency?
SPOCK:    A very long and complicated story, Lieutenant.   [TOS "A Piece of the Action"]

wab HevwI' 		radio [device] (n) (TNK?)
  -  (qe'San, 11/02/11):  I suppose although that could refer to any signal receiver rather than the type of device you'd tune into to listen to music.  Having said that I took a similar tack but used {Se'}. In the first draft as I didn't have sight of the images I was thinking of some radios being 2 way communication devices as well as what we have here so I had written {Se' HablI'}.  Marc said that although not wrong the picture depicted something that wasn't 2 way and wanted {wab} in there so updated the entry to {wab HevwI'}.  This also then fits better with cassette.

wab labwI'  radio service,  broadcaster,  radio transmitter (n)
  -  (qep'a' 2017):  This is used for broadcaster, radio service, etc. It can also be used for the device that does the transmitting. If a distinction must be made, the device is {wab labwI' jan}. 

Hev  			receive (v)
ngeH 			send (v)
lab  			transmit data (away from a place) (v)
tlhuD 			emit [energy, radiation] (v)
rI' 			hail (v)
rIS 			signal, emit a signal (v)
