Exactly perfect timing for this SD.

Now is the time for validation protocols.

The intenion is to use channels 90 to 98 for this purpose.

Thanks for all the effort, Sir Speedy.

I am no radio tech so I will happily go along with whatever has been decided you the experts.
Once it is all sorted, I will look to get my codes and so need to investigate getting some handsets.

Another item on the ever expanding to-do list...

Hi Mandlaka, and welcome.

Look back through this section for teh recommended kit section, this will give you a better idea of the options we have explored and the decisions made.

There is no one right way to address survival coms need, but there are certainly some wrong ways! Most important is to have a suystem that will be compatible with a maximum number of other survivalists. Probably the most effective solution in this respect currently is CB radio. The walkie talkies being discussed here are a bridge between PMR446 and Ham radio that has only really become an affordable option in the last two or three years.

Thanks for your support here TLN.

Re motorola PMR rigs I know the issues you are talking about as I have a couple of them in my stable.

The channel protocol I'm suggesting here works fine with these radios.

For any Newbies reading this reply, TLN has a wealth of hands on operating experience, particularly on current model VHF and UHF radios.

His advice has the backing of very thorough field testing, so is very much worth seeking if you have any queries.

Thanks Ned.
