Sorry about that. I am so new to the Kudoz board here. I actually ended up using "Talkie". It appeared to fit the context better. I had no background on the company or what the intent of the contract was therefore, determined that this would be the best word to utilize. Thank you all so very much for your help!

Would you let us know what you ended up using? We won't feel hurt if you found something else or didn't feel our responses fit your needs. We do feel unbalanced when we are left hanging.

neutral Maynard Hogg : too many hits at Google for "talkie": "walkie talkie", "talkie walkie" (French), "Handie Talkie"...

Talkie

Context please. When I was growing up, トーキー was walkie-talkie. Doing a Google search on トーキー, I got other options. I have forgotten that "Talkie" or sound movies, as opposed to silents, was one definition. Given that it's paired with 故障, I suppose it's some sort of device that alerts someone when there's equipment trouble.

broken transceiver

While "talkie" is the direct literal translation, 'transceiver' is one of the technologies used to make such a system work. If you don't think talkie is appropriate for your context, consider this.

also 'two way radio'
Peer comment(s):

agree Kazumichi Sato (X) : I think transceiver (and walkie-talkie of Altinbay) is as plausible as talkie of cinefil.
