sense it costs more money and kills less VC, the United States pretty much never used it during the Vietnam War.

1) Pretty much a phone with a full-duplex (i.e. tranmit on one frequency and recieve on another, and it always transmitting and recieving) (radio), and that allows both people on the line can yell at each other at the same time.
2) A device permantly attachted to a teenybopper.

Whats great is, people think cordless phones cannot be listened to, but sense it uses radio waves to be 'cordless', then anyone with a scanning reciever on the base (this is a duplex system, remember) can listen to BOTH sides of the conversation.
In my free time, i listen to my neighbor's cordless phone conversations on my radioshack radio scanner.

Radio term for "extended distance".
What "extended distance" really is could be 100 miles, 1000 miles, 10,000 miles, it is pretty grey as to an exact number or distance.

FREQUENCY MODULATION
radio modulation techique where information (usally voice or music) is added to the signal and changed by varying the freqeuncy of the transmitter. FM is the most commonly used modulation for radio signals techneque above 30 MHz.
the term "FM" is also used to refer to the broadcast band from 88.1 to 107.9 MHz, using that same modulation mode.

FM signals have less static because changes in frequency do not pick up interferance that AM-modulated signals do.

radio term
ha ha (laughter)
"hi hi" is the Morse equivalent of a laugh as in Morse it sounds like someone chuckling ("hehhehhehheh hehheh"). That is ditditditdit dit dit --- or dot dot dot dot dot dot. You really have to listen to it sent in Morse to appreciate its laugh like sound. It is most commonly used in CW (Morse Code), but has carried over to voice as well. Many CW expressions have carried over to voice -- such as 73 (Best Regards) and 88 (love and Kisses), etc. The origin probably dates back before radio to the telegraph days. And since Hams used Morse long before voice became practical-- the sound of the Morse characters HI HI was used to resemble a laugh sound. In some sense it is equivalent of a smiley. It's onomatopoeic -- that is the naming of a thing or action by a vocal imitation of the sound associated with it (as buzz, hiss) The definitive answer might be found in the "Dodge's The Telegraph Instructor Manual" circa 1850 to 1900. However, I have never been able to find a copy of this document. Wish I could as it would help to see the transitions from telegraph to radio usage.
