two-way radio
Portable talk device
A two-way radio is a device that can both transmit and receive voice communications, unlike broadcast radios that only receive.
Walkie-talkies, CB radios, and police radios are two-way radios.
Users typically press a button to talk and release it to listen: Copy that, we're en route.
