According to my understanding prayer must be sent on a particular radio frequency compatible with Jesus Christ's accurate teaching...ie...humble, righteous, in meekness and with respect to the authority tuning into those prayers. Prayers made from a quiet place out of earshot of others. Mass chanting and repetition without these requirements, sadly, are not heard...but God knows that the only requirement needed from prayer is the strength and understanding to cope with our calamities and this is freely available, by return, in the form of God's righteous strength, achieved by studying righteousness and righteous prayer.

Unlike with his other quotes, I don't see the fundie here. In fact, the idea that Jesus dislikes emotionless mass repetition of prayer aligns pretty well with how the Bible actually portrays him - a rarity in Fundieland!
DAB Radio .
Example, a Logik DAX combo 1 Gb MP3 player & DAB receiver (a rare addition to my media player collection too, as they're unavailable nowadays):

Yet, with all the stations I can receive - many from other parts of the country which would be impossible to get even via FM, never mind Medium Wave - one I can't get is UCB: a Christian radio station.

No fundie there. It's all in the Bible:
Matthew 6:5-6
"And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full. But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you."
Lots of fundie here:

Your understanding clearly doesn't include proper grammar and punctuation.
A particular radio frequency? Remind me; which chapter and verse in the Bible states this?
Mass chanting and repetition without these requirements, sadly, are not heard
Why pray at all? "... your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask him" [Matt. 6:8]
Jesus wasn't humble. Anyone who claims to be co-equal to God and "the Light of the World" has shit all do to with meekness.
In fact only about 10 percent of the Jesus lines were about love....the rest was him bragging about himself, telling other people to get in line, and telling not-so-nice parables. How can you preach humbleness but then turn around and tell people you’re the shit and to bow before your glory. Even that washing the feet of beggars stuff is false modesty.....oohhh look at how good I am, look how much better I am than you. Do you think he washed feet when no one else was looking? I doubt it. God is an asshole and the seed didn't fall far from the tree.
"According to my understanding prayer must be sent on a particular radio frequency compatible with Jesus Christ's accurate teaching"
FM or AM? Is it sideband so you can get twice as many prayers through?

What, God's only got a single channel receiver? I'd think he'd have the most high tech equipment to keep tuned in to the world.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
