Hi
I was wondering if anyone on the forum could help me with my research.
I am trying to find out what technology was available in 1971 for 2-way radio communication, specifically for someone finding themselves in a rural or desert location and trying to contact an accomplice so he could be picked up at a rendezvous location.
I particularly want to know if portable, small devices were available at that time. Could person A carry a smallish device and when needed communicate with person B in order to request B to come and pick them up at an agreed location?
If so, what was around in 1971, and what size?
My research is regarding a criminal cold case, and your help would be greatly appreciated.
If this post is in the wrong section, my apologies, and please direct me to the correct section.
Thanks for any advice.
