Basic SHTF Radio

A cop's brief guide for understanding simple solutions for SHTF radio communication.

By: Don Shift

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

Do you want a two-way radio to communicate during emergencies, disasters, or the end of the world? Is the information online or on YouTube just too confusing to get a good understanding of what your options are? If so, this book is for you! Note: THIS IS UNITED STATES SPECIFIC.

Don't let the test of ham radio put you off. Obtaining a ham license is not difficult and does not require specialized knowledge of electronics or physics. If ham radio doesn't suit you, there are several non-licensed or minimal requirement options, like FRS (Family Radio Service), GMRS (General Mobile Radio Service), or CB (Citizen's Band) radio. Communication around your property, neighborhood, or town is possible using nearly plug and play radios that anyone who could program a VCR can setup.

In this book, we discuss the options that the average person has to communicate, what they are, and their strengths and weaknesses. Terms are defined and explained. Techniques to use radios during times of upheaval or SHTF are included. Even forms of electronic warfare and how they may be used against you or countered are examined.

This is NOT a "how to get your ham license" guide or a technical explanation of radios and radio waves. Note: this book contains excerpts from the Suburban series of books with new additions.
