I understand what you are saying but don't exactly agree.
Over says "I have nothing else to add to this communication" while Out says "I'm gone for now, do not expect an immediate response".
Over and Out
Over means your turn to talk. I am listening and
will reply when you say 'over'.
Out means I ain't gonna listen nor reply.
The communication is complete when
all parties say/transmit 'out'.
Then and only then others who wish to initiate communication on the same frequency can begin. I be ignoring 'break' for simplicity.
If anyone who has said 'out' desires to communicate further they must initiate a NEW communication sequence.

JPG do you mean all those 50 and early 60 TV programs where the hero right before the big suspense filled scene would shout “ over and out” into the radio were wrong?
I find that hard to believe.
