Survival Radio Musts, Shoulds, Coulds

[NorthernRaider]

Martin why change whats not broken, everyone else uses CH 19 so it makes sense we use the same, for example after TSHTF you could be calling on CH 19 and a none prepper who is online hears you but is in a good position to help you replies?, not all sheeple are hostile to use, indeed many hobby CBers and Hams would probably try and help a prepper if they could.

The only true bone of contention I cannot overcome no matter after how much reassurance I get from Paul, LS and SD if the radio output, I feel most strongly that ten watt hand helds ( maybe as low as 7 watt at a push) is what we will need if we intend to adopt normal sorts of opsec on securing our homes, We will need good RX and TX to at least 15 miles to get the best effect.
