A carrier's radio (8)
I believe the answer is:
portable
This clue might be a double definition.
'a carrier's' is the first definition.
The answer and definition can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe there's a link between them I don't understand?
'radio' is the second definition.
(I've seen this before)
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for portable that I've seen before include "Laptop, for example" , "Maybe laptop" , "easy to bear?" , "Designed to be easily carried" , "Able to be carried" .)
