Re: Communications Preparations
I'm telling you guys, Amazon sucks. Fleabay all the way. Here's the one I got with the cable, it was $25 last December when I got it, now it's $30. And here it is without the cable for $20. The cable can be pricey so I'd recommend the first one.

Re: Communications Preparations
so are you a licensed operator? or are you advocating for the equivalence of "Carry with out license"? If it's unlicensed, who are you going to talk to, how do you know who to trust? How will they know to trust you? There's more to this than buying a radio and push to talk, both on the technical and legal sides.

Re: Communications Preparations
It is my understanding that both owning and using these radios to listen is completely legal regardless of what license someone may or may not posses. It is also my understanding that using these radios in a life threatening situation is also completely legal regardless of what license someone may or may not possess. Did I miss someone thing in my research please inform me?

Re: Communications Preparations
you are correct it is legal, just like owning a firearm, but it's a HECK of a lot easier to accidentally broadcast (Carry) with out a license than it is with a firearm.
As for life threatening, you missed several KEY exonerating criteria that can and WILL be challenged in court. You can transmit in the IMMEDIATE protection of life or property and there are NO OTHER MEANS available or all other means have failed. So "I'm standing beside an unconscious person, massive bleeding no cell signal" YES use the radio. check on a family member in isolation as a welfare check, not an immediate life threatening issue, no transmit. Hiking the AT, huge forest fire ahead, no cell phones with the party, YES transmit. boat launch at Safe Harbor, unresponsive person just pulled from the water, closest cell phone 100 yards away, Grey area but it was sustained. So the "emergency" conditions are really a very narrow window. Just like open carry, it's a lot easier and more responsible to GET the license, not only will it give you convenience, but you will also know the answer to these questions, it's one of the Technician questions.
