Rule notes

Official Runlings:

The skill added by a personnel with this Equipment card is retained only while that personnel is present with the communicator and the personnel from whom the skill was added remains at the same location, or until you re-select the skill. See skills - modifying.

Because this card is not cumulative, you may not use two copies to add two skills to the same personnel, but you may use two copies to add a skill (the same or different) to two different personnel (even in the same crew or Away Team).
