yes it can be used as a transmitter as well because few t.v. remotes used to have very light gamma rays to command t.v. sets but gamma rays are dangerous as they can cause cancer

ANS2:No, there is no such thing as a gamma wave transmitter. That implies that a man-made device is producing the radiation. In the case where electromagnetic waves of the same wavelength as gamma are produced artificially, those waves are called x-rays. Yes, there are x-ray transmitters.
  • Gamma radiation is produced from natural processes
  • X-rays are (usually) artificially produced gamma radiation

As for gamma ray t.v. remotes: the radiation used for the signal is way less energetic than gamma...less energetic than visible light. They all use infra red.
