Is driving while talking on a walkie talkie Illegal?

In california is driving with a walkie talkie, not a nextel but a walkie talkie with no phone features, illegal? I know that there are exceptions to the no cell phone law and I read that it's okay, in an article for truckers, but I want to make sure.

In a private car it is illegal.

There are exceptions in the law though for truck and delivery drivers and the like.
