Definition
无线电报 is a historical term for 'wireless telegram' or 'radiotelegram', referring to the early 20th-century technology that transmitted Morse-coded messages via radio waves instead of telegraph wires. It's a compound noun made of 无线 ('wireless') and 电报 ('telegram/telegraph'). You're most likely to encounter it in historical texts or discussions of communication history — it's not used for modern messaging.
