Exactly what does that Stanley do?
12 volt power supply with a built in 12 volt dc to 120 volt ac inverter and it has a light and it can be used to jump start a car as well.
There are a number of different makes and manufacturers of the same type of equipment.
A lot of the advise so far given is good.
Some of it is not so good. Some of it is way over-optimistic.
Get a copy of “The Dummies Guide to Amateur Radio” from Amazon. Used copies are as cheap as five bucks.
By all means get some Family Radio Service HTs. Get simple ones. A lot of doo-dad features will drive you crazy. You should be able to find some nice ones for less than $20 a pair. Try them out.
The “Dummies” book will put you in the general picture, and it has good stuff the most advanced licensed ham can learn.
Look also at the “Multiple Use Radio Service” in the 150 mHz region. Also the “General Mobile Radio Service.”
Look these up on Wiki.
Eventually, get a Technician or General Ham license. (The sooner, the better.)
