    Recommend having an boating air horn if you have a neighborhood defense force and a single entrance. That way everyone in the neighborhood regardless of having comms will know trouble is imminent and whoever is on duty needs back up immediately

    I've spent a fortune on high end Yaesu gear, legit Ops-Core AMPs, etc. but most folks aren't going to be in that budget range. It's awesome that you did this for folks who need a setup, including links. You're an asset to the community.

    I love the fact that you are so calm, plus you are the real deal. You have great leadership qualities. Thank you for your videos. I appreciate what you do.

    Baofeng Radios, I’m equipping people here on my mountain.

    I have the Baofeng radios and I wouldn't go tossing the book that it comes with. It's a very capable radio. The scanner portion is fantastic. When the power went out the other night I was able to determine what it was and what it wasn't so I was able to get a time frame on when the power might be restored in real time👍
  • I can't get any of my 2A friends interested in comms for any reason... even the former military guys who were drilled with shoot/ move/ communicate. Civilians and ex military are only interested in 'shooting' and even that only as far as bragging on the range or posting Gucci gear online. Getting people interested in ACTUALLY being ready trained or functionally organized is like pulling teeth.
  • Always right on Jack , we appreciate the awareness you provide. Our family all have the Baeofang radios and they seem to work well if you are on a repeater. Thanks again. Rick
  • I appreciate the comparison of the super HAM radio guys to anime nerds a little too much. It's so accurate though. 😂
  • I have a couple of the AUBREE antennas, folding and extend up to about 3ft. They work well, height is king in the radio world.
  • The cheep radios don’t transmit your voice over the air waves a great distance but they will receive higher wattage transmission very well. They are great listening devices for intel like you said.
  • Well we've gotten our license and joined a local ham club . I'm learning so much about comms and the difference radios . I was talking to a gentleman in Florida the other evening and we live in north west PA
  • In nine minutes and 44 seconds, I was able to get so much more information from you than I was able to get from hours worth of so-called experts from all these other channels,thank you very much.

    I'm a ham radio operator I've been one for the past 10 years and yes I hate being on a government list.
  • @glentate123
    Thanks for doing this video and mentioning my PAM Radio flashcards for getting your mutual assistance group up to speed on comms.
  • @krist7697
    During times of disaster or if your life is in danger you can use ham without a license
  • I love getting like a $45 sdr dongle and listening to like 80% of the stuff out there. The cheap ones won’t transit but you can listen in a shtf scenario and might get info to avoid areas or whatever.

    Awesome video. I've watched several videos on these type of systems. It would be a good thing for everyone in your family to keep in their car. If the cell tower grid goes down, you can still contact your family members using repeaters. I don't know enough about that to do it myself, but I do need to buy a radio and learn how they work. Thanks for the video. These need to be talked about much more in the survival/prepper community.
