Prepping for ham radio confiscation during SHTF WROL at FEMA KBR HQ

[iamafterburner]

Great video David.CB radio's put out 4 watts stock,side band is about 12 watts.you can get a 10 meter radio have channel 19 installed and put out 80 watts.Or peak and tune a CB radio to approx 40 watts.The higher the wattage the greater the range.In a truck my CB would range from 10 - 20 miles and that was stock .On side band my range was 40 -60 miles.

@iamafterburner thanks

what makes you think that they will confiscate radio's

Dipole link?

Them little lead acid cells are great, although I have been getting the NiMh batteries on flea bay, they even sell a 10000 (10Amp) D cell for under 5 bux shipped. Batteries for the tech minded are always going to be a priority along with the means to charge them. Jump on down to get yourself a lawn tractor battery, some serious power in a small package albeit not very portable

Pointing with a knife would be much more survivalistic ;-)

Good video. I'm into HAM and CB radio. I'm finding that both would possibly be needed in a tough situation. Thanks for the upload, and great idea for the gel cell battery, something I had no idea about.

@MrRogueShark good stuff

Suggestion for those who want cheap emergency crap-get ya some road flares, great for signaling the problem zone and can be used as a torch weapon.

[ActontheActor]

@valhala56 yep

[MaKaElectric]

Good stuff, thank you!

[ActontheActor]

@MaKaElectric thank you

[valhala56]

Geat vid Dave, Just one question. Where do you store all your crap and how the hell do you organize it when the SHTF buddy.

[livenlrge]

Have to ask. I just picked up a CB and would like to plug it in through my cigarette lighter. Do I need one of the gel cells you were talking about? My CB has a safeguard on it so it shuts off if something is not right. I tie the wires together plug it into the cig lighter and it shuts down. Thanks

[ActontheActor]

@livenlrge the gel cells are only needed if you are away from your car ... normally the cigarette lighter would be enough ...

[livenlrge]

@ActontheActor I wonder what I am doing wrong then. I am sure I didn't cross my wires. Thanks

[ActontheActor]

@livenlrge what is the problem ? did you check fuse for the lighter plug ? carry extra fuses ..they may blow ... is there a fuse in 0 line on the power cord ?

[valhala56]

@livenlrge You need to find somone who knows what they are doing when wiring the cb to your car, just sticking wires into the cigarette lighter is well lame.

Turn the music down so we can hear you.
