Radiotelephone- that is voice talking ( called Phone for short) . The term , with the advent of cellular phones, which are in a very real sense radiophones- has engendered some confusion. Before their advent (Phone) in Amateur Radio use meant voice conversation- called Radiotelephone. The other major transmission mode was of course CW- Continuous Wave- that is, Code transmission- or radiotelegraphy. As of now, there are, of course , different types of licenses for Phone, and Code transmission. Prior to l992 there was an arbitrary Code test for ALL prospective amateurs. This ( Model T) requirement has been modified if one is using only Phone. Still there are the CW zealots.
