HG,

All good points to consider, my friend! Thank you for sharing.

You are absolutely correct that having an understanding about what the radio is or isn’t doing is quite important in the same way as the car analogy you gave.

My goal with this thread is to shed some light on the things people should know before going out and blindly buying a radio for an SHTF situation, and to provide them with realistic expectations of what they can and can’t do with radio.

One of the most common questions I see is “what radio should I get for SHTF?” As with nearly all things, the answer to that is “it depends.”

Like you, I have multiple pages of information to provide, and my goal is to provide that information a little at a time in response to the many questions I’ve seen, heard, and read about radio.

I welcome any input you would like to contribute, as that is the spirit of what I am wanting to do here in this thread.

As of now, I have only begun to scratch the surface of this topic.

Thank you again for your input!
