"Win Heagy" ) writes: Hi, I'd like to get a small, portable HT type radio for my wife (a non HAM) in case phones, etc., fail. What can you recommend? It should be small enough to carry daily, but get an honest 2-3 mile range (depending on terrain). We've tried several of the FSR type radios, but none get anywhere near the advertised range. Any suggestions? Please email to (remove SPAM) Thanks, Win Huh? People survived without having constant communication for eons. Now suddenly a cellphone isn't good enough, people need backup? Yes, emergencies will happen, but people your desire for a backup of a cellphone is just way down the curve. First you need an emergency, then you need the cellphones to fail, then you need a need to communcate. One thing missing from your post is what is she supposed to do with this radio? You need someone at the other end, so are you saying you'll always be that close to her so the two of you can talk? Or are you hoping that she can call some random person to come and help (which may or may not happen?)? Michael VE2BVW |
