Learn to operate them and help get others in your local area setup before this entire thing sh*ts the bed... Having a couple baofeng handheld HTs in the box with the stock rubber ducky antennas that arent programmed for repeaters or anything local and think you are prepped with comms.... not happening. Get prepped now, these things will be scarce soon and they are already targeting hams for potential conspiracy theory terrorists. Have your gear in place now! [/quote] Great idea, can someone please dumb this down for me? Thanks in advance :peace: [/quote] Ill try. If you are familiar with AM radio, you can find shortwave receive only radios that you can listen to shortwave (HF / high frequency) transmissions which can be (depending on time of day and frequency) long distance (DX) transmissions. Good for hearing things from far away. If you want to communicate locally, look into GMRS radios and VHF/UHF ham radio hand held or mobile units. Find a ham radio club in your local area and they will help you. [/quote]
