Key characteristics and uses include:

• Operation: Typically uses a Push-To-Talk (PTT) system where the user presses a button to speak.

• Portability: Designed for mobility and easy carrying.

• Applications: Widely used in professional settings like construction sites, security operations, and event management, as well as for recreational activities such as hiking, camping, and skiing. It is also a critical tool for emergency and disaster communications.
