Couple that with the other stuff we've been putting back (radios, binoculars, NVG, etc)...

What kind of answers did you come up with for radios and NVGs?

Those are my big holes right now.

For radios we've got two options.

One is those little Motorola FMRS jobs. They work pretty well. I know they're not 'secure' by any means but they're better than nothing.

Our second option is Marine band portables. I know, I know FCC regs and all that. But I figure if we use the International freqs and keep transmissions short and low power we should be ok for a while.

Since we're landlocked the possibility of the CG or FCC getting all bent out of shape are pretty low. Not zero, but pretty low.

For NVG's I picked up a couple of the Bushnell units. They aren't military grade but they weren't 2 grand a copy.

All of the above are filed under "Better Than Nothing" in my mind.
