If you have a mylar poncho u cant be spotted on infrared
makeshift yagi antenna
Explain this
@Dad mylar and regulation of body temp also breath. but those infrared cameras aren't good enough yet to differentiate between human and animal at a distance. they mainly look for campfires
Thinking about investing into a police scanner
@Ann Hiro probably a good investment. Easy way to get intel during a disaster even if other comms are down
i wouldnt because theyre programmed to your area and you can just google the frequencies and put them into a baofeng to listen
does anyone do ham radio or whatever is popular now? how does one get into it?
Best way to start I'd guess would be a scanner. See if radio is useful for you.
Conceivably, in the event of emergency, Radio is one of the first things up.
It's easily the best way for people to communicate quickly.
Still to spendy
I need to find the article, but a variation of these were being used EXTENSIVELY in the Hong Kong protests after cell service got blocked
oh yeah it's spendy but I thought it was interesting regardless
what zip code do you live in?
https://hamstudy.org/ is good to start. you can find find a free test near you and likely also a class if you want
do the flash cards for the technician class license until you have them pretty much memorized
and heres a class
thanks guy! i was talking to a friend at work and he's interested in getting into ham radio too.
its better if you have a friend you can do it with
Is Craigslist a viable option for finding a CB/HAM radio on the cheap? What's a good price?
Seeing like $100ish for CB/marine radios in my area
Check pawn shops/flea markets for CBs.
Both the ones I have now came from garage sales
cool, thanks
get an rtl sdr
Found this in my photo folder, don't know if it was posted before
It was
When in doubt check pins

Will do next time
do all radios have to be registered? I'm planning to buy a small radio for a shtf kit
Idk about registered but to use it you need a license
