Radio

The Motorola MT500 Radio is the main form of communication between the Ghostbusters team when they are separated. It was most famously used in the scene at the Sedgewick Hotel where Slimer slimes Peter Venkman while Ray Stantz tells him that it won't hurt him.

Canonicity

The Radio in the Primary Canon is developed from Ghostbusters (1984), Ghostbusters: Afterlife, and Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire. In Ghostbusters: The Video Game (Realistic Versions), a Secondary Canon, Ghostbusters (1984) and Ghostbusters II pre-date the game, Ghostbusters: Afterlife conflicts with the game. The Radio (prime) appears in the IDW Comic Series, a Secondary Canon, which follows Ghostbusters (1984) and Ghostbusters II, also includes some elements from Ghostbusters: The Video Game (Realistic Versions) and Ghostbusters: The Video Game (Stylized Versions); as well as being canon to Tobin's Spirit Guide (Insight Editions).
