A two way radio is a device that is used for sending and receiving data, either over very large distances or small distances. These radios have become very popular and can be used for a variety of purposes. A two way radio can either operate in a half duplex mode or a full duplex mode. When it operates in a half duplex mode, the user can either send or receive a signal at any given time and cannot do both. In the full duplex mode, a user is able to both send and receive data at the same time.
When purchasing a two way radio, there are several factors and components that must be taken care of. The most important factor when buying a radio is to see that it fulfills the requirements of the user. Another important factor is the cost of the radio. One of the most important components of this type of a radio that needs to be carefully selected and looked into is the battery.
The battery is considered to be the most important component of a two way radio because it has an impact on the area within which the radio operates effectively, the quality of communication as well as the time taken for the completion of a transmission.
If the battery used in the radio is of good quality, then it is able to operate in a wider radius with more effectiveness. On the other hand if the battery used in the radio is of poor quality, then the radio will not be able to operate in a larger area. A good quality battery also improves the quality of communication as the signals or data can be sent and received clearly without interference. A good quality battery also ensures that the time taken for transmission of data is less.
Two way radio batteries are manufactured by a large number of companies. These batteries are either provided as internal rechargeable batteries or as replaceable batteries. The internal rechargeable batteries can be charged by just plugging them into an adapter. These have a longer life as compared to replaceable batteries. The replaceable batteries are the ones that need to be replaced once their battery life is over. This can prove to be quite cumbersome if the replaceable batteries used are of poor quality.
One of the most widely used two way radio batteries is the nickel cadmium batteries. These batteries are known for their durability. This type of a battery is the least expensive and can be used in any temperature. This battery is generally provided as a rechargeable battery and over time it is said to lose its full recharging capacity. Therefore, this type of a battery is difficult to maintain.
Another popularly used battery is the lithium ion battery. These are very light weight and easy to maintain. This type of a battery does not lose its charging capacity and has a very long life. These are widely used for their high capacity and as such prove to be extremely popular with users of modern UK Radio Comms and two way radios

I don’t know anything about HAM radios. But I’ve heard that there are serious penalties if one for example grabs a HAM radio and starts saying all kinds of non-sense on all frequencies.
But if radio wave can bounce off the “I forgot what it’s called”-sphere. And can originate and travel all over the world. Then how on earth (pun intended) does the FCC find and give citations to people that are using HAM radios illegally or are not complying with HAM radio rules?
By the way. What are some of the fines the FCC can impose on someone other than revoking your license?
What about aliens? If signals are sent from another planet, does the FCC try to track them down to give them a citation too?!
Basically, BobbyP’s answer is correct, that the FCC can hone in on a radio’s signal by triangulation, and then, when they have the signal source found, they can obtain a search warrant and both confiscate the radio and arrest the users and owners of the radio and of the property it is located…
But, they don’t really care about illegal signals enough to begin searching for their locations until a signal begins to interfere with some other citizen’s legitimate lifestyle.
For example, if the signal generated by your radio produces enough interference to television reception, or produces ANY amount of interference near to a hospital or other EMI-sensitve, tax-paying, or tax-utilizing facility, then the FCC will be a lot more likely to start hunting you down than if you were transmitting from out in the middle of nowhere.
Or, if the contents of your transmission are considered by enough people to be intoloerable, then they will be more likely to start hunting you down.
Then, they simply find out what frequency your signal is, they await your next transmission, they find out in what direction your signal is originating, and then they move however many miles in that direction as they feel they need to, then they reawait your next transmission, and they move in on you in that fashion.
The fines that the FCC can impose on anyone can be astronomical — if they already have a license and don’t follow the rules.. BUT, if someone doesn’t already have a license, then the FCC cannot impose fines. Then, the fines have to be ordered by a court of law. The FCC can ASK you to pay those fines, but, if you don’t want to and if a jury can understand your need to have used your radio in the way you did, then you won’t have to pay a single thing, and you might even be able to sue the FCC and get money out of them.
This is because athough it is illegal to operate an amateur radio beyond the Citizen Band Range in an automobile, sometimes CB radios and cell phones cannot reach the proper authorities in emergency situations, so even the FCC has realized that not all unauthorized transmissions are in the slightest bit illegal.
And, yes: if the FCC could detect signals from another planet, you can bet that they would be amongst the MANY who were interested in tracking them down.. right alongside SETI (Search for Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence).
