Now is the time to procure transceivers (also SDR devices) and antennas while still accessible. 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!
Quoting: TimeIsShort 79148274 Great idea, can someone please dumb this down for me? Thanks in advance  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. Thanks so much! If the power grid goes down, would this also go down? Well depending on what are using and the situation maybe yes or now. Most ham radio units run off DC power so you can get batteries (and even solar panels w/ charge controllers) you can keep topped off to keep talking in the event of power outage.As long as its not an EMP that fries everything. You can also in mobile usage wire the radio to your cars battery so power out in house no issue. Just have redundancies in place, I would at least look into some backup batteries you can keep topped off.
