portable radios

Handheld broadcast devices

Portable radios are radios designed to be carried and used while moving—battery-powered devices small enough to hold or clip to a belt.

The category includes transistor radios, boomboxes, walkie-talkies, and handheld two-way radios used by police, security, and construction crews.
