Yes, you'd normally have to concentrate more on a cab radio call than
you would on a mobile conversation.
The rule book states that "You must not use the radio when the train
is moving if you might become distracted and put the train in danger."
with the rider that an emergency call or stop signal has to be acted
on immediately.
See section 3.3 in:-
http://www.rgsonline.co.uk/docushare/dsweb/Get/Rail-43552/TW1_6.PDF
A company's driving standards might additionally state that the radio
shouldn't be used when approaching a red signal, or when stopping at a
station, for example.
It's a pity it doesn't stop Network Rail doing a general NRN test broadcast,
which is so loud and full of interference you can't concentrate, just as you
are approaching a red signal!
