Walkie Talkie - Definition

A walkie-talkie (more formally known as a handheld transceiver) is a hand-held,

portable, two-way radio transceiver (they can both send and receive messages).

They have a half-duplex channel, which indicates that only one walkie-talkie on

a channel can transmit a signal at one time, although many radios can receive that

same signal.
