Does anyone know what freq. the U.S. walkie talkies transmitted and

The 'original' WWII walkie-talkie, the SCR-536 operated between 3.5 and 6 mc
(that's 3.5 and 6.0 MHz).

More correctly ''Megacycles per second'' was changed to Hertz, not
just Megacycles.

Nothing incorrect in what I posted you snot nosed dum**** shortwave poseur.

Now run along and tote it, boy.

I didn't say it was ''incorrect''. I just pointed out what is ''more
correct''.

''-cycle is also an indication of frequency of periodicity, usually
associated with an additional modifier indicating the time unit.
Typically used in units such as xxx kilocycles (thousand cycles) per
second, xxx megacycles (million cycles) per second, etc., where xxx is
some number. The cycles per second is often implicit such as in "this
station broadcasts at 680 kilocycles" - this is taken to mean "680
kilocycles per second" or 680,000 cycles per second.

The "cycles per second" is now usually expressed with the unit
"hertz", named in honor of the pioneering physicist Heinrich Rudolf
Hertz and defined as "cycles per second". Thus 88 megacycles, or
correctly, 88 megacycles per second, is now expressed as 88
megahertz.''
