Emergency SW radio recommendation
I am new to SW and really have no idea what to get. I am really just
looking for one to use in an emergency situation but I would teach myself how to use it. Something that would let me listen in on all kinds of possible transmissions. I would like something that is not too large (easily fit in a backpack). Also able to run off of batteries. What do you really get when you step up from a hand held to a base station type unit? I imagine it is power. Do those require a license to operate? Thank you! Karl |

Karl I'd use my AOR AR8200MK3B (as long as I was staying off airplanes and inside the USA). |
