why while talking on walky army people end every sentense with word OVER?

Answer 1

They're actually generally called radios. That said, when you're holding down the talk button, if the person on the other end tries to talk at the same time, he'll miss what you're saying, and you won't be able to hear him anyway as the radios can't receive while they're transmitting. Saying "over" is a lot shorter than saying "OK, I'm done, it's your turn to talk now." It also lets the person receiving the message know that your message didn't get cut off, and he got the whole thing.

Answer 2

All the three worthies have given you the correct position. Oh God, if there were to be such a provision in our landline and especially our mobiles what a relief it would have been.Perhaps the trouble with the talker of telepone seems to be that they don't know when the message they want to communicate is over or even if there was such a message at all and the person who is literally at the receiving end has to face the rock(I won't call it music). Why, oh why, Bell did not think of making such a provision in the line!!!

Answer 3

OVER is a word used as indication of end of message. After this the opposite party should talk . As Radio (two way radio means it is bot Tr & Rx modes all radios are two ways but technically one way with FIFO method) is a device uses same frequency for both Transmission and reception, there should be a identification for message completion. If the transmission itself is over we have to use ' OVER & OUT' or .-.-. in morse. for more info visit a ham site.

Answer 4

You had to press a button on the handset so you could talk, so when you said "Over", you release the button, and the other guy presses his button so he can talk.

Answer 5

To indicate that they are finished speaking and ready for a response.

Answer 6

So the other person knows they're done talking.
