| Description: | A communicator is defined as a radio transmitter/receiver (transceiver) combination capable of operating off an internal power source; it is portable in the sense that it need not be connected to a power supply. It may transmit and receive both voice and data. Very small communicators (.1 kg) can be worn as earpieces, which are unnoticeable to the casual observer.
