Certain channels are reserved for law enforcement usage in certain areas.<br /><br />Still, with a base and a couple of handsets you would have an excellent system, plus the ability to snoop on emergency responder communications.deprogramhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14628920705540929573noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-359115408034187666.post-53539526343182276642010-07-04T11:18:15.682-06:002010-07-04T11:18:15.682-06:00I thought it interesting that you mention the need...I thought it interesting that you mention the need to have a HAM license. The last thing you'd have to worry about in an apocalypse scenario is the FCC driving around in a van to triangulate your signal and serve you with a citation. <br /><br />I remember a pirate radio station running in Pittsburgh for YEARS with a several megawatt transmitter in the civilian FM band. It took them years to finally sue him out of existence.<br /><br />Get a radio. Start listening, and then figure out what you need to do to make it legal to hit that 'transmit' button. I went the license before radio route, and ended up with neither - and I went to the effort of learning Morse.<br /><br />Which I forgot when I didn't get my license, and didn't get a radio, and never had to transcribe a conversation.<br /><br />Unlike a gun, ownership and use for reception of radio equipment requires no license.deprogramhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14628920705540929573noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-359115408034187666.post-32054855796287186912008-01-07T21:27:00.000-07:002008-01-07T21:27:00.000-07:00I think that we definintely live in a world where...I think that we definintely live in a world where compromises must be made. A dollar that is spent on prep is a dollar which must come from somewhere else. There is no reason to save up enough money to get 40 acres with a house, an arsenal and 100k rounds of ammo before buying anything. The way the world works it would happen when you have 85% of that money in the bank and nothing in hand to help you out. At whatever rate you are saving buy stuff as often as possible while buying in enough bulk to help cancel out shipping costs. If buying local and not in bulk do it much more often. <BR/><BR/>That being said a balanced and riscally wise appproach is essential. There is no point in having an arsenal, enough food for an army and a ton of alternative energy stuff if you can't make your morgage and end up living in your uncles garage or a van down by the river. Unless you want to live in that garage or van then more power to you for minimizing expenses to prioritize what is important to you.Ryanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09612373437033635765noreply@blogger.com
