radio that can both transmit and receive (a transceiver),
unlike a broadcast receiver which only receives content. A push-to-talk

transmitter. Additionally, Hand-held radios are often called walkie-talkies or
handie-talkies. Portable Two Way Radio also fit in your hand.

two-way Radios are differentiated from Mobile Radios in that they have a battery (power source),
and antenna system built in to the casing of the radio.
