1 point1 pointThe versions I used were downloaded from some popular ham website. I was able to program five radios with four labeled channels. My radios are capable of advanced settings, but I like to keep it simple bcuz I'm stoopid.1 pointAny doubts about canned goods? Worried about strontium contamination? Get a TZ-2000 food safety tester.1 pointAnd I thank God that you are alive and well my friend! I respect you and always look forward to your guidance more than you can possibly know!1 pointKeep.in mind expiration dates on canned food are really for best quality. You can eat it after the expiration date (usually 3-4 years after manufacture date). It's not going to kill you. May not taste as good. When I was in Vietnam we'd get C rations from WW2. How do I know they were from WW2? Got Lucky Strike cigarettes in a green pack. Lucky Strike went to a white pack in 1942 to save green dye for the war effort. These c rations were canned with 1940s technology. Kept me fed and over 50 years later I'm alive.1 pointShop Rite has Campbell's Chunky on sale for $1ea (6 for $6 with digital coupon, limit 6 cans at this price), and after the first 6 cans they are $2ea (Normally $3.49ea).
1 point1 point1 point1 point1 pointWas told when I started carrying only carry factory loads. While not illegal to carry hand loads it opens up alot more questions that you will need to defend in court God forbid you need to use your firearm in defence.1 pointAgree with the other two replies. In general, semi-auto rifles and shotguns are highly restricted in terms of functional enhancements, while bolt-action or pump-fed long guns have a great deal more latitude. Doesn't make any real sense, but if you are moving here, you should start getting used to that (not exclusive to firearms regs, either :-/1 point1 pointI keep seeing the words “long range”. How far do you mean by that? You’re going to be disappointed when you find out the truth about how far they’ll reach….1 pointFor those who do not have experience with two way radio beyond GI Joe walkie-talkies, y'all need to understand something if you are planning on using radio comms in a SHTF scenario. A single $30.00 BeefWang is not going to save you from anything. You need a plan, base stations, repeaters, mobiles and a network of trained (and trusted) individuals to support a SHTF comms scheme.1 pointNot yet tested but these have 8 watts instead of the usual 4 watts transmit power. They come FRS channels available but the GMRS channels come locked for transmitting as an FCC license is required to use those. Holding down 3 buttons while turning on the radio does a factory reset and unlocks all the channels. You will not find a better bang for the bucks than this set!1 pointJohnnyB, did you buy a programming cable? If not, get one. It’ll make this so much easier. Next, I’ll encourage you to get your ham radio license. You can study for a few hours on hamexam.org and you’ll pass. It’ll cost you $35 I think but it’s worth it.1 point
