Thanks for the info

What would you personally recommend for getting a HAM radio or CB?

Hopefully, there will also be people in the government that will work covertly against this crap.

By the way, if this nonsense actually occurred, wouldn’t some members of the military and law enforcement remember their constitutional oath? Last I checked, we haven’t made the military swear an oath to our Fuhrer.

A network of CB radios would be nearly IMPOSSIBLE to defeat. Due to the nature of most CB transmission being only line-of-sight and low powered, the big, sophisticated direction finding equipment would not be able to pick it up. There are only about 20 such sites in the US. There are not enough mobile DF systems to even make a dent in finding folks.

I could see truckers playing a critical role...mobile. Sometime the information will have to be carried across large stretches of mountains, plains or desert. Even mobile CBs in your hunting truck.

Two-way VHF commercial systems are good too, with all the desirable characteristics of CB...but a little more distance.

That, my fellow patriots, is a communications network that could not be disabled...and allows one to remain anonymous.

But it can be heard widely. Think of it as news relay...not secure communications.

Something like any of the ICOMs or Kenwoods (they will do wide-band TX and RX as well) built in the last 15 years are candidates. Yoy don't really want the tubed-PA radios of the 70's and early/mid 80's to be frank.

What is also desirable is: an antenna tuner! You would find otherwise your radio is 'happy' over just a very small segment on 80 Meters before the VSWR circuitry starts to throttle back the RF output ...

You can trust the US military in the long run...but they could be used in a limited role that has been characterized as "riot control" or "public safety". However, once the leadership understands a contra-constitutional government is calling the shots, they'll likely move to our side.

As would many state/local LEO. 50-50. Additionally, 90% of non-military federals are NOT to be trusted. Even if they "defect".

IF the balloon goes up (almost everyone has a different threshold here) you'll need to already know who you'll be collaborating with. Meeting places. Code words. Relocation contingencies. Medical care. Communications processes.

Once it happens, no new friends...unless you witness them commit a capital crime.
