[All casual-like, because those are totally a normal thing, right? It doesn't occur to her she needs to explain what an ion cannon is, since he's talking about it killing electronics, and everyone knows what electromagnetic weapons do. Also, she's not touching "Commies," since it sounds like a slur.]
It's a radio, yeah. This one's short-range without a repeater, though. Maybe a hundred kilometers if the ionosphere's favorable.
[She has never heard the term "walkie-talkie" before, but the meaning comes across from context, so obviously Dixon knows the basics of how radio communications work. Or such is her touching faith in him not being a complete dumbass, anyway.
