    OK sounds good as long as the crickets don't start up again. But I think we're safe, cold weather is upon us. I guess it's just us three that will save the country and coordinate the revolution, HOO-YAH!
    Be safe.............the night is your friend.

    Well all I got's Crows and Buzzards. Crows are lucky enough to be around because I do like to shoot them due to them eating my deer's corn. And that is my SHTF food staple, hell I'll have a hard enough time fighting off humans from them. Now try to teach a Crow or a Buzzard to fly round trip to Sleepy Hollow then I would be famous. I guess we should stick to the mission at hand. He, he....

    Just read this entire thread.... All I understood was shooting crows.
    I really Need to learn this HAM stuff.
    Got a Wouxun KG-UV3D a few years back and I'm not even sure how to turn it on. Had grand ambitions of using it as an entry level hand held.... Oh well...The best laid plans....
    The 12 Gauge... It's not just for rabbits anymore.

    I looked up your radio. You have a good radio and your "best laid plans" are good to go! You have the capabilities of doing many things my brother. You can monitor your LEOs and emergency services. You can even transmit and receive between 136-174MHz and 350-470MHz. The more expensive brands like Yaesu, Kenwood, ICom don't have those capabilities, they've been neutered by the FCC. They limit Transmission to 144-148MHz (2 meter)and 430-450MHz (70 centimeter bands). But this gives you a broad range of frequencies to choose from for a comm plan. Off the grid a little bit.........

    You know you can get up to 60miles out of those little puppies with right antenna? I started off with a handheld Yaesu FT-60. I don't have like, a whole bunch of them now but. I have what I think I need. Been doin a lot of tinkerin.

    ANYTHING is more useful than NO radio!!

    I prefer frequencies that are not in common use... FRS and GMRS are the MOST common, since they are sold EVERYWHERE.

    MURS is a different animal, hardly no one knows of it's exsistance so I pick it. Hope to have mobile to base comms via MURS as soon
    as I can get another radio for base station.

    As it is, I have 1 mobile and 4 HTs all setup with MURS, in addition to a multitude of 2M and other freqs.

    I have this http://www.arrl.org/graphical-frequency-allocations as a reference to frqs... can't find a prosaic simple numbers listing of frqs for Tech for my efforts. Still casting an scouring about for a mobile that won't burst my skinny ass wallet like a toy balloon. Dual bands in plenty, but in UHF/VHF pairs. No VHF/HF pairings. Would not doubt there are likely triband and even quad bands (guessing, but HF/VHF/low UHF/high UHF?) but I got one look at a triband and backed away top scalded-arse-cat speed.

    Is it impolitic/just not done, General, to inquire what rig you were using for this quality of 40m phone performance?
