Handheld transceivers (handy talkies) are permitted and have transmit power from 500 mW to 5 W (full legal power) and are relatively cheap compared to full-sized transceivers. Operation in the band is restricted to modes F3E and G3E ( FM or PM of analogue voice telephony) except for channels 22 and 23, which are data modes only.

They are held up to the face to talk. A walkie-talkie is a half-duplex communication device. Multiple walkie-talkies use ...
In essence, a trunked radio system is a packet switching computer network. Users' radios send data packets to a computer, operating on a dedicated frequency — called a control channel — to request communication on a specific talkgroup.
