Our great leader is recommending us to get an emergency radio; the one thing I think that has come out of this administration that may actually be a good idea.
Any recommendations?

Now you’ve done it - another place for me to spend $$$$ on radio gear. Fortunately, my next visit to OKC will be the week after the Green Country Hamfest in Claremore. Any spare funds will be gone.
Thanks for the question. At first I was thinking this would be used for a shtf situation, but it would be a good idea for me to at least be a hobbyist to learn how to use it appropriately. I’m open on the budget side, from an entry level hobbyist standpoint. I’m not sure what kind of dollars are involved.A budget would help as well as if this is just going to be stored for emergency situations or do you plan to use it as a hobbyist.
I am pleased with my Eton Elite 750. It's a good performer. It's portable battery powered as well as with an AC adapter. It has an internal telescopic antenna and inputs for two types of external antennas. A 50 ohm and a high impedance for a random long wire. You can study up on these if you go this way. It's nearly as sensitive as my more expensive radios. Amazon has them at $400 right now. It does shortwave, am, fm, aircraft, and a couple other less useful bands. It receives single side band which most hams use making it more useful in shtf situation. If you got $1200 to spend, I have a whole different way to suggest you go.Thanks for the question.
