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

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
But that’s for USA
HAMboomers will report you if you aren’t licensed
can they track who's who in those frequencies or can you just lurk and listen in?
you can lurk
They can't track shit unless you transmit
that's what I'm aiming for
Start with something like this
Lets you learn about what you're doing while you're doing it.
would a walkie-talkie do the job in a shtf scenario where i have my buddy across town?
get a $25 baofeng
nice, just looked it up and they distribute where i live
srsly joining this discord was a better investment then watching hours of prepping channels on yt
based and whitepilled honestly it was
get a ham radio license
Free men don't ask permission. SHTF licensure won't mean shit anyways
a license while the grid is still up is useful though, just so you don't get v& for practicing your radio skillz

@UncleDrMrBaby the purpose of getting the license is to know what youre doing instead of being a ding dong with a poochang radio that bleeds 5 mhz and has like 1 mile range on a good day
