I've checked various book, SR3 and Matrix, and still can't seem to find
a good answer to this question.

If a decker has a transceiver connected to an open FPU of his cyberdeck
can he communicate with the rest of the team without penalty through
that device?

I'd say yes; of course he still has to spend the free actions speaking;
but attached devices should be seamlessly integrated so speaking through
it would be similar to using a cybernetic transceiver.

There is cannonical evidence that attached devices may not automatically
integrated and instead require a program (specifically, wireless links).
If you want to make it a little harder on the decker require some sort of
small interface program, multiplier one or two, rating must be MPCP or
higher, that must be in active memory for the transceiver to work.
