Abstract: A system and method for an improved two-way packet-centric like radio communication network that transmits signals and data over Internet Protocol. The improved like radio communications network provides advanced features and enhanced services to its users, such as the capability of roaming across a plurality of similar like radio communications networks. A plurality of client devices including an enhanced client application for the operation of two-way like radio networks that accesses, contacts, and communicates with one or more client devices of the same network or one or more client devices of different like radio networks. The radio network includes an optional server application to establish packet-based radio communications between at least two client devices within a single radio network or across a plurality of radio networks.
