Don't give up. Did you read my article?

Probably but I'm so doped up I cannot remember, this subject has been ongoing since I came into survivalism in the late 70s, some of us were happy with 27AM us rigs, others wanted to go with the new 27 FM rigs and the inteligencia wanted to go Amatuer, and sod all has changed.

IIRC you posted about prefering on a personal basis to keep your radio traffic within your family group ?

Its just not fair not not right that folks like Lightspeed should spend bloody hours researching and producing information for us, and so few of the members can be arsed to even have a go and his radio ballot.

Looking at LS's poll so far
PMR 446 has 16% of the vote
CB UK FM has 20% of the vote
CB Multi Mode with SSB has 13% of the vote
HF Amatuer has 13% of the vote
VHF and UHF FM both have 3% of the vote
Marine band has 16%
other has 3%
No transmitter planned has 10% ( that includes me cos I have no idea what I should be getting)

Ok CB UK FM and CB Multimode with SSB are similar, are these available on one radio set?, if so that that gives them 23% of the votes

AND

If PMR 446 which has another 16% of the vote could be found on a radio that does the CB + SSB stuff we could be laughing ( to the mad house)

Is there a bloody radio that has CB UK FM, CB Europe, SSB and PMR 446 that chucks out 5 watts ?

The more CB and PMR and Amatuer band web sites I visit and read the more I believe that after TSHTF I will shoot on sight every one of these geeks I can find, They cant agree on anything, they appear to go out of their way to make both information and ewquipment as complicated as bloody possible

Fooking radio waves are all the same they just come in different lengths, and are normally broadcast in AM or FM, WTF can they not put all the common usec frequencies in one god damn bloody radio, if I can get 10,000 ferking songs on my Ipod Nano, then surely these twats can put the 80 UK CB channels, 8 PMR channels, The 40 European CB channels and the 40 yank CB channels, and 10 meter ham in one buggering unit. Are they deliberately trying to play the elitist techno geeks with the rest of society ?????
