Just googled it and I found a bit of information, but there's no explanation as to what it actually does:

As far as I can tell the items are used as a transmitter/receiver for some kind wireless teletype:

is it a HAM / Amateur radio text transmitter receiver setup?

Some of these can also listen to Morse code and decode to an 8 bit computer.
