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
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
internet wont go down
I suppose it's harder for SWAT stacks to get blueprints for homes and then navigate them than it is to move freely innawoods
you can get surrounded innawoods fast and pinpointed by thermals on ghetto birds
there're more chokepoints in your home and it's *your* home, a place familiar to you
I feel like the former has more options for movement than the latter though
oh fuck I forgot about police dogs
