That works fine in that context, radio as an
entertainment/information medium, while in communication with people
who use it every day. But a shipboard intercom, subspace radio, and
people running around carrying scrolls would all be described by Qum
pat, too. It's like "defense system" works fine to describe moats,
ramparts and pike bearers in 1200 AD, but if you say it today you
envision, tanks and soldiers, or a biological immune response, or
maybe a pit of venomous snakes.
I need to be more specific.
