I thought they may be good for SHTF, but if all towers down, they won't work unless close. That is what I have been able to gather about Rapid Radio's from youtubers. bought GMRS radios, then a Baufeng (wish I bough the HAM/GMRS version,) then a Cobra handheld 5 watt CB, and finally a handheld scanner (receive only on that, a Uniden SDS100.)  Listen to the SDS100 pretty much everyday. CB is also fun while scanning the channels, I live close enough to the Turnpike to hear quite a bit. Getting HAM license, but that project has been delayed.</p></blockquote><p></p>
