 # Send String
 
-Broadcasts a string data packet to other micro:bits connected via ``radio``.

+Sends a string to other micro:bits in the area connected by radio.
 
 ```sig

 ### Parameters
 
-* msg - a string to be transmitted.
+* `text` is a [String](/reference/types/string) to send by radio.

+### Example: Two-way radio
 
-Broadcasts the provided string to other micro:bits.
