Editing Improvised explosive device (section)

====Radio====
The trigger for a [[Radio control|radio-controlled]] improvised explosive device (RCIED) is controlled by radio link. The device is constructed so that the receiver is connected to an electrical firing circuit and the transmitter operated by the perpetrator at a distance. A signal from the transmitter causes the receiver to trigger a firing pulse that operates the switch. Usually the switch fires an initiator; however, the output may also be used to remotely arm an explosive circuit. Often the transmitter and receiver operate on a matched [[Selective calling|coding system]] that prevents the RCIED from being initiated by spurious radio frequency signals or [[Radio jamming|jamming]].<ref name="Hunter" /> An RCIED can be triggered from any number of different radio-frequency based mechanisms including [[Radio-controlled model|handheld remote control transmitters]], car alarms, wireless door bells, cell phones, [[pager]]s and [[Personal radio service|portable two-way radios]], including those designed for the [[CB radio]] service, [[UHF]] [[PMR446]], [[Family Radio Service|FRS]], and [[General Mobile Radio Service|GMRS]] services.<ref name="Hunter" />
