Description
The portable radio, created by Jerome Baldino, enables contact between two people if they are not out of range. This is a rather small, easy to use radio.
Role in Twinsen's adventure
Twinsen received the Portable Radio as a small gift from his friend Baldino. A short time after he got it, Twinsen received the very first call from Zoé, telling him that she had brought their car to Desert Island for him.
The next time Twinsen received a call in the radio was just after he retrieved Sendell's Ball. This time, it was Baldino contacting him from Emerald Moon, telling Twinsen about the Esmers' diabolical plans. Baldino also instructed Twinsen about how to reach Emerald Moon.
Later on, when arriving on Otringal, Baldino contaced Twinsen several times, reminding him to get the can of gazogem required for both the ship and the super jet-pack.
Trivia
The fact that Baldino was able to contact Twinsen from the Emerald Moon all the way down to the sewers may suggest that the radio could be used over really long ranges.
Unconfirmed theories
For an unknown reason, Twinsen is able to receive calls in the radio, but was never able to contact others.
Additionally, until Twinsen received the radio, Zoé didn't bring the car to Desert Island. But as soon as Jerome gave Twinsen the transmitter, Zoé contacted him. This can be explainable by the fact that Zoé was there, but just couldn't contact Twinsen, since he didn't have the radio until that point.
