A lot of off-roaders have CB radios in their rigs, but I'm wondering if anyone has radios setup in their vehicles for SHTF situations?
I like CB. Cheap and readily available.
I hear 2 meter is popular.
GMRS/FRS is readily available in handhelds, but has limited range.
In addition to a CB, I'd like to have a 2-meter radio because I feel like I could reach more people. I'd also like to have a GMRS radio in my vehicle to be able to talk to people that have GMRS/FRS portables.
I'm trying to learn more about the 2-meter ham radios to see what I should get. And I'm not sure how to find a GMRS mobile, but I think I've seen them on ebay.
