Per my dictionary:  Radio:

   1. The wireless transmission through space of electromagnetic waves
      in the approximate frequency range from 10 kilohertz to 300,000
      megahertz.
   2. Communication of audible signals encoded in electromagnetic waves.
   3. Transmission of programs for the public by radio broadcast.
   4.
         1. An apparatus used to transmit radio signals; a transmitter.
         2. An apparatus used to receive radio signals; a receiver.
         3. A complex of equipment capable of transmitting and receiving
            radio signals.

As a ham for 40+ years now I have always disliked the term "rig".  I try 
always to say radio so non hams will understand.  To each his own.  73
