It sounds like amateur radio is the most efficient way of communicating and obtaining information during disasters and SHTF. Am I right?
I am told that the hand-held units have pretty good range capabilities due to the network of "repeaters." But, what happens to the repeaters when the power goes down? I assume the repeaters would go down too, thus limiting the range and use of the hand-held units?
If that is the case, would a more powerful mobile unit (not having to rely on repeaters as much) be the better choice? Or would a hand-held be fine? I'm assuming one radio to use in the vehcile as well as at home.
Don't know anything about radios but want to learn.
I got a question for the ham radio enthusiasts.
I have a Model RBH-1 Radio Receiving Equipment, 10125 Mounting Base and 46188 Radio Receiver.
It was left to me by from my now deceased Father-in Law. Is it worth my time trying to figure out how to use it.
Man it would make a great boat anchor.
