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
You need a license for specific frequencies
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
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
The Baofeng uv 860 was just released. It should be exactly like the original uv 5r, same price, same performance, same everything but a few things have improved
It can be charged directly, the battery is 50% larger and you can charge it without a charging stand. Thats it.
So I recommend you get that (22$ shipping included) and a cheap 2$ nagoya NA-771 antenna
Some other baofengs claim to be higher wattage - thats a plain chink lie. They do not perform better. Also a "triband" baofeng will be useless - Nobody uses the additional 220-260MHz range and itll be plaqued by distortions from digital tv and uncomprehensable digital intereference of every kind.
22???
dude thats fucking nice
what does it do exactly
If you want to make international or worldwide communication you will a transceiver for the lower frequencys (30mhz) as they bounce of the ionosphere and thus over the horizon and around the world. The ubitx is the cheapest option starting at 100$. It can be operated from a 12v battery
@Pepito Well you speak into it, the signal is send out as a 4w fm signal
Gives you 10-100km range depending on the severity of obstruction
in very rare instances and under special weather conditions (sporadic f) youll get over the horizon distances (read a few hunderd kilometers) in a random direction.
Oh and for extra bonus points you can connect it to your phone or computer and use that as a modem. Enabling you to send text and data at up to 1000 bit per second
