What has lifted the two-way radio from its "ham" stage to its role as key instrument in a mushrooming minuteman-like communications network has been its adoption by U.S. industry. Thousands of companies and other private organizations now use two-way radios to call their men in the field, be they taxi drivers, repairmen, or even tractor drivers on large farms. Then, the manufacturers of communications and electronics equipment have not been slow to realize the plan's clear-cut potential for community service, as well as boosting sales...
