Abstract
Radios are exciting pieces of hardware that can be used to build wireless communication links. Radios used to listen to voice and audio are known as receivers; your home radio, for example, can only tune into and receive radio stations. Radios that can be used to transmit voice and audio are known as transmitters; radio stations use transmitters to broadcast programs. Radios that can do both (transmit and receive) are known as transceivers; a walkie-talkie is an example of a two-way radio transceiver.
