Alright, so it seems I interpret the "(radio)" cimment as "Pertaining to ra=
dio equipment (subspace or orherwise); not how often something happens." an=
d you take it as "In an interval corresponding roughly to the radio wave sp=
ectrum."
I'm guessing we've both seen the pertinent canon, and won't be easy to pers=
uade, but to me, "frequency (used by radio equipment)" makes more sense as =
an entry in TKD, since subspace radio is actually used a lot in Trek, where=
as radio waves don't appear to be.
Also, I think =AB'evnagh Se'=BB looks quite strange using your interpretati=
on. There may be historical reasons for it, but my reading gives it as "a r=
adio band frequency (~10^3 to ~10^11 Hz) in subspace". To me, it makes a lo=
t more sense if it means "a frequency used by radio equipment in subspace".

I interpret it in precisely the opposite fashion: it is *explicitly* radio.=
You might be thinking of {chaDvay'} "frequency (Hertz)".

Subpace radio is always referred to as "subspace radio" {'evnagh Se'} or ju=
