What Is Walkie Talkie


Walkie Talkie

A walkie-talkie is a hand-held portable, bi-directional radio transceiver. Major characteristics include a half-duplex channel (only one radio transmits at a time, though any number can listen) and a push-to-talk switch that starts transmission. Hand-held transceivers became valuable communication tools for police, emergency services, and industrial and commercial users, and are also popular with some amateur radio operators. The personal walkie-talkie has now become popular again with the new U.S. Family Radio Service and similar unlicensed services in other countries. While FRS walkie-talkies are also sometimes used as toys because mass-production makes them low cost, they have proper super heterodyne receivers and are a useful communication tool for both business and personal use.


The name walkie talkie was said to have been coined in 1941 during a demonstration in Toronto. A reporter saw a soldier walking about with the C-18 version strapped to his uniform. "What does it do?" the soldier was asked. "Well, you can talk with it while you walk with it," was the answer and the name Walkie Talkie was born.
