Hi

No, walkie-talkies do not need to have visible antennas, although it depends of the operation power in the unit.

Some of the low power two way radios (license free) have got hidden antenna (Motorola TLKR T5).

In high power radios (commercial - licensed units) signal transmitted from the antenna could interfere with the components inside, if fixed too close to the circuit board, inside the chassis.

Antenna exposed outside the radio can easily radiate omni-directional, giving same coverage in all directions. Longer antenna very often gives better communicating range.
