Sure. PM on the way.
Bump.......
Yeah. We feel that way a lot of times, too. But what are you gonna do? He's ours so we'll keep him.
Hands down the best commo radio out there is the one that works... lol...
Personally I think people suk and there is no one I really wanna talk to enough to get a special radio for... lol...
I prefer smoke signals though, only a strong wind screws them up and when it's raining they lag and can be difficult to read... lol...
The tin can and string method is an age proven technique also... lol
and then there is the carrier pigeon method... which you can eat if it acts up or you get really hungry... makes a fine meal... lol
screaming works well for the wife, seems I always here her when she does that...
or you can lay your head to the ground and listen, doesnt have to be for a train either...
have seen a method where two neighbors shot an arrow with a message tied to it but when the one neighbor tried to catch it... he got killed, I don't recomend that method...
Hope this helps... lol
Beo,
I OWN the answer. ;)
I have an old Zenith Trans Oceanic AM-FM Multiband radio from when my father got it as a kid.
Thing works like a dream. We have it set up to be plugged in and take batteries if needed. Damn thing is SICK! We can listen to radio from across the country, into Canada, and over the pond.
Won't give it up for the world. :D
Who Cares about a License in a survival situation ? I don't, I would get a good Yeasu Ham rig ,,, you dont need a License to listen anyway, With the right Ham radio you can cover EMS also, :)
A tech license is really easy to obtain. No more code requirement. Just sayin'. :)
lets see here -.-.-...-.- ok :)

2 meter handheld ham radio is the best and most reliable communications available. I always carry one camping, hunting or flying. They have far better and more reliable coverage than cell phones. That's why I carry one when I fly the back country. They will always hit a repeater from somewhere and therefore you can always find help. They also link into the phone system via "autopatch" so you can call on the phone too. Used 2 meter handhelds are cheap and can be found under $100. The basic ham license test is a no morse code test and easy. Any idiot can pass the 35 question test. No excuses, get your ham license! (You'll have fun with it too when you travel.)
Good to know. Also - no excuses - stop on by the intro section. http://www.wilderness-survival.net/f...splay.php?f=14 Thanks.
The commonly overlooked problem with operating a HAM radio (or any other radio without a license) is that the bandwidths available to you will likely be so overcrowded that sending a message will be impossible.
Also, you shouldn't underestimate the government's ability to stubbornly continue functioning as frequency police during a catastrophic failure of society. Chances are the FCC will clamp down even harder WTSHTF, because they'll want to keep their own communications options uncluttered by private citizens. You can also count on the military shutting down any transmissions that they think will interfere with their own ability to function as an internal security force. Military jamming hardware tends to indiscriminately shut down every transmitter and/or receiver on any band. It doesn't just interrupt it. In some cases, it burns out the circuitry too.
