Developed during the second world war, walkie talkies are hand held radios used to communicate between a certain range.

At the beginning, they were also called two-way radios, which allowed both ends to communicate with each other.

They work upon radio waves to connect wirelessly on a solo frequency band.

To receive or generate sound a cone made of paper or plastic also exists inside a walkie talkie.

All these materials are in order to function a good walkie talkie.

How to Talk on a Walkie Talkie?

Talking on a walkie talkie is no rocket science, but there are certain Lingo used that one must be aware of before using a two-way radio.

The first thing one must keep in mind that voices can be hard to understand so always be clear in your pronunciation.

Make sure to pause after important words and be selective to keep the communication short.

Always make sure that you hit the transmission button before you start talking as radio signals might take a few seconds start transmitting properly.

After you are done communicating, take your fingers off the button a couple of seconds after you’ve said: “over and out”.

Let us now talk about some famous lingos used while communicating through a walkie talkie.

  1. Affirmative: Yes
  2. Negative: No
  3. Disregard: Ignore previous message
  4. Copy: Message understood
  5. Go Ahead: I’m listening
  6. Mic Check: Is my walkie talkie working?
  7. Loud and Clear: I can hear you
  8. Go Again: Please repeat the last transmission
  9. Roger: Understood
  10. Stand by: I’m busy but I acknowledge you’re calling me
  11. Over: I’m done speaking
  12. Out: Transmission ending
  13. Wilco: Message has been understood, action will follow
