Unlike AM(MW)/FM radios detailed above, walkie-talkies are both broadcast station and receiver, and so known as 'two-way' radios. The range of a modern walkie-talkie is anything from a few hundred meters in a city and in dense vegetation, to many kilometers when used on a peak or high rooftop. This communication tool can be especially invaluable when you are in a group and need to split up, staying in contact and relaying information. | Unlike AM(MW)/FM radios detailed above, walkie-talkies are both broadcast station and receiver, and so known as 'two-way' radios.
