Review & Description
The Guide to Emergency Communications is a primer to explain, in very basic terms, the types of technology available for personal or family communications during an emergency or survival situation. Many persons who want to plan for emergencies realize that they need a means of communication. However, many of them believe that this involves merely buying some piece of equipment. What they often fail to do is stop and decide, before buying, exactly whom they want to communicate with.
This Guide encourages the reader to first give considerable thought to that fundamental question. Then, it explains, in non-technical terms, what kind of equipment is available, the capabilities of that equipment, and more importantly, the limitations of each type of technology.
The Guide includes many money-saving ideas, because the best type of communication for a given situation is rarely the most expensive.
The subjects addressed in the Guide include:
--Receiving Information
--AM Radio
--FM Radio
--Satellite Radio
--Television
--Shortwave Receivers
--Scanners
--Two-Way Communications
--Telephones
--FRS, GMRS, and MURS Radio
--CB Radio
--Amateur (Ham) Radio
