How to use radio/radio modems to communicate with random people? (lemmy.ml)

You know how sometimes in a show or a movie there is a character that has a "radio friend" that they talk to? Yeah that's what I want to do.

But I do not know how to so I came to ask you! Cheap, preferably.

Out of curiosity, I found this app on IzzyOnDroid, (which gave me the idea in the first place) Codec2Talkie that seems to be what I'm looking for but I'm unsure due to my ignorance.

A radio modem seems to be required as the app description dictates. I can find one somewhere no issue. But is this the correct approach? Is there a better way that I don't know of?

HamStudy is the best one. The app cost a couple bucks but the mobile site is free

Yeah that's the one I used. They also sell great antennas to fund the app/promoting ham radio usage. https://signalstuff.com/
