What are Walkie Talkies?
Walkie talkies are portable communication devices consisting of low-level radio transmitters and receivers. Originally designed for military communications during World War II, walkie talkies became popular again in the 1970s with the CB radio craze. Children seeking a wireless way to hold ‘secret’ conversations were the biggest customers of toy walkie talkie models. Most adults used the 40 channel CB radios for two-way communications.
