      I will make sure to let Evan know you sent me his way. I appreciate you letting me know what I needed for the radio’s brother. I am good with just about all other areas except for radio’s lol. I really like how you just keep it simple on your channel and letting people know what’s worth having and not worth having. As you said unless you have a Baller budget so that you could afford to buy all the bullshit and not care. Well I am not rich and I enjoy someone letting me know what to get the first time and not waste my money.

    I absolutely love mine and have used it from everything from talking to the wife to turn the water back on at the main, to my brother who was driving behind me and got a flat. He used one of my radios to call me back. Funny thing is, we had separated for the day and each going home.
    He would have been out there forever because his kid lost his wheel lock.

    Have you looked at any of the Meshtastic stuff? It's text only but having encrypted comms that don't require government/corporate infrastructure could definitely have some use. For me the current range limitations in denser areas is kind of a deal breaker but I'm keeping an eye on it.

      Now that's going to depend completely on your level of "densely populate" area... But all single story, through town, I'm generally getting 3 or 4 miles.
      What may be a WAY better option for you would be to get one of his rooftop antennas (you can plug the handheld right into the cable that comes down) For the home base radio. That will get you back out to 10-25 miles.
      Again... completely depending... VHF/UHF is "line of sight". That elevation from the roof is going to be huge for you.
