So I got a little tecsun FM/MW/SW radio, but playing around with it I barely pick up anything from the local area on the MW / SW. Any cheap and light options for a serious SHTF scenario? I'm not bothered by 2 way communication.
I have a baofeng
I can pick up repeaters with the Nagoya antenna
found my baofeng radios
I got a baofeng uv-5rtp recently and was bummed when I realized the local repeater near me is in the 220 band
I was thinking about returning this one and getting a tri-band, but at this point I'm not sure I want to be getting anything from china in the mail
would it be worth it to get a tri-band if only for that local repeater, or can I expect other folks to be on the VHF and UHF bands when the boogaloo happens
I don't think anything *from* China is going to be showing up in your mail anytime soon lmao
kek
lol
you know what I mean, though
I feel like at this point, getting something shipped to me through the mail is a risk
since this thing can survive for up to 5 days on surfaces
Theoretically you could decon with a bleach or alcohol solution in a spray bottle
I'm not a scientist, but I'm pretty sure that's how you decon just about anything else
Yeah, aight. I got it, haha
I'll just spray it down when it comes tomorrow
Tbh I think I'll keep the first one I got too, can't hurt to have a spare radio
Yeah it's never about how many guns *you* have, it's about how spread out they are in your squad.
Two hands are good, four is handtastic.
Depends on how tight you are with your bros
I don't really have a "squad" to speak of
My roommate thinks he's going to be able to get out of town before the roads get fucked--spoiler alert, he won't
bug in not out
