The tag implication #63967 walkie-talkie -> radio has been rejected.

Reason: While walkie-talkie is the term for a radio, that's not what it's always referred to as.

To be fair, it's a handheld version of a radio, used for specific medium- to short-range person-to-person communication that predates cellphones.

I think it probably makes sense to keep two-way transceiver radios seperate from "normal" one way reciver-only radios. one's a communication device, the other is an entertainment/information device.

Radio as a word commonly applies to both, though. HAM radio, for instance.
