Holy cow ~ A radio Shack HTX-202 2 meter VHF ! That was my first 2 meter and that thing was a brick. Sucker weighed more then a building ! Those are some dinosaur radios for sure.

@Tm30w06 Yes they are indeed old outdated radios. I would not intentionally show my own personal communication capabilities to the general public. These are intended only as examples of "modes" of operations.

LOL...

I haven't seen those huge heavy brick radios in over a decade. Batteries even work on those?

Check out Yaesu/icom/kenwood site for light compact modern radios.

LOL.. I have plentyyyyyyyyyyy of modern radios.. 800Mhz trunk tracking radios, Ham radios, all kinds of small portable communications. These are BACKUP radios and do you think I will dare show what actual modern equipment I have in my possession? Sorry jack, do not desire to spread the wealth like brother Obama.

does anyone know a good source where i could learn more on bug out radios?

[locke6206]

What would you like to know and i would be glad to try and help in anyway I can.

In a bug out situation, the ability to have low power output gets really important, as I haven't been in the woods anywhere I can remember where I saw any battery trees. Solar chargers are a big plus to have with such a collection of radios, and of course, rechargeable batteries for everything.

[Offthegridprepper]

i like the ideas! only thing is though, would you really bring your cell phone? or where you just give an example? in a bug out situation you wouldn't want to be found and cellc phones can be tracked. great vid though

[Tm30w06]

Those old radio shack radios were awesome at the time. Pretty much indestructable. I love old radio collections and yah everyone has their own ideas and personal preferences with this kind of thing.

[slinkydog2222]

Nice collection, this is what i'am lacking.

[trailkeeper]

I guess teach other family members how to work the radio also, maby even write the steps on a piece of paper and put ina plastic baggy.

Get a CB radio (27MHz), shortwave receiver that can do USB/LSB, and a couple of scanners.

For private group communications we use Nextel Direct Talk or Motorola DTR radios. Both cannot be monitored by radio scanning equipment as they are digital and utilize frequency hopping.

@agun17, that is a pretty good analogy. The part that is comforting is that no one will be looking for your "flares." Don't go all paranoid on us, lol. And, like a flare, signal can only been seen for a limited distance. Some radios can't be heard as far as a high altitude flare can be seen. Can't be heard, can't be located, moot issue. SHTF scenario likely won't include some forces being out there tracking radio signals, lol, that is pretty funny.
