After your radio purchase, I would consider either a handheld walk-talkie or Ham radio. We have the Baofeng UV-5RAX+ which is a reasonable entry level handheld ham radio. It does need a ham license to operate, but those are easily obtained online (without Morse code now) for a nominal fee.
Another alternative is the walkies-talkies that hunters use, weather radios, or a handheld CB. We don't have either at our house, so I can't recommend a brand or model type.
Check out Amazon, and get your communications squared away.

I have a Grundig World Band radio in my get home bag along with a Baofeng UV-5R with extended antenna. Just finished my CB install today on the "Fouled XJ" that I drive everyday to work. Went over to my neighbors 186 acre pasture and found the highest hilltop and tuned it up with a SWR meter. Got the SWR down to 1.2 on channel 1 and 40. Works great.
ReplyDeleteCommunications is probably one of our weakest areas, but we do have the equipment. We need to practice our skills more, there just doesn't seem to be enough time to get everything done that is on the "to do wish list".
