The Ultimate Low-Cost Emergency Radio Setup!

I put together this kit for about $45. Even if you pay full-price for everything you're probably looking at under $70. This kit includes a solar powered radio, with a powerful LED light, USB charger, am/fm and short wave bands, PLUS a vhf / uhf ham radio transceiver, all in a waterproof container! Perfect for SHTF, preppers, natural disasters, power outages, camping... any time you need power, lights, and a radio!

Good ideas Max thanks for putting the time into this

Use a metal surplus ammo can and line it with cardboard and tin foil. Then it becomes a faraday cage and protects the contents from EMP events.

Who do you honestly think you will contact with 5watts and a 4 inch antenna during an emergency... really!

[@tonyhook8656]

A basic handheld is capable of transmitting several miles. If you’re in an emergency and need help, why would you need to reach any farther? My local repeater is more than 10 miles from my house and my handheld works it just fine. He did also mention using a bigger antenna or did you not make it that far?

Assuming the repeaters are still functioning, such a radio can prove very useful. Not everyone needs a multi-band Yagi or an HT modded for HF.
