Mobile phone (goes without saying and will be the first to fail for sure!) a couple VHF/UHF PMR Handhelds, a couple of 27 Mhz CB Handhelds and a windup radio for listening to your "everyday" radio stations on and a shed-load of hybrid rechargeables. The handhelds will all use the same batteries, your common or garden AA's and that will be it!

The rest will be left behind for someone else to find and use, good luck with that as there may not be any power cos I won't be leaving the genny..... but in essence, lightweight and easily portable and something my family or anyone finding it can use cos I may not make it - end of.......

100% with you on that MA

It seems thate everyone with stron radio knowledge has concluded pretty much the same solutions.

Thanks for chipping in.
