Walkie-talkies, also known as GMRS/FRS radios, are great for short-range SHTF communications. They work best for a small individual group like your survival coalition.
They don’t work for mass communication or long-range communications. It’s an ideal option for a family wanting to stay in contact as they move around a small property or local area.
Unlicensed Two-Way Radio
- Family Radio Service (FRS): FRS is licensed by rule. This means an individual license is not required to operate an FRS radio provided you comply with the rules. You may operate an FRS radio regardless of your age, and for personal or for business use if you are not a representative of a foreign government.
- Multi-Use Radio Service (MURS): MURS is licensed by rule. This means an individual license is not required for an entity to operate a MURS transmitter if it is not a representative of a foreign government and if it uses the transmitter in accordance with the MURS rules outlined in 47 C.F.R. Part 95 Subpart J. There is no age restriction regarding who may operate an MURS transmitter.

Ham radio was one of the most popular communication devices over large distances in the middle of the 20th century. Ham radio networks are both reliable and can communicate over long distances. They are also not dependent on cell phone towers. ham survival radio perfect for survival purposes.
The only real drawbacks to ham radio are the equipment costs and the training necessary to learn how to use it.
If you intend to broadcast (and not just listen) then you will need to get an official license. To operate ham survival radio equipment legally, an operator must obtain a license. This includes passing a test and paying a small fee.
However, a license is not required to purchase, own and just listen in. Which is extremely valuable in most survival SHTF communications scenarios. And after SHTF all these rules and regulations won’t matter anyway.
Full Function FPP (Allows Complete Disconnection From PC Use)
- Frequency programming: The panel allows you to add channels, delete channels, modify frequencies, color codes, etc.
- Contact and group programming: The panel allows you to add and edit single caller IDs, group caller IDs, and group caller IDs
UHF&VHF full band
- UHF&VHF two frequency bands: Use VHF outdoors; UHF is more suitable for cities.
- Full frequency band, get more communication opportunities: FCC requires various models to have their own frequency range. This makes different types of two-way radios unable to communicate. It is a big disadvantage when disaster strikes. UHF&VHF full frequency band can be compatible with more walkie-talkie types. Disaster-related information can be obtained from others.

Emergency Prep
Should there be a catastrophic event that may interrupt normal routes of communication, two way radios or walkie talkies may be the only available means of contacting others. Whether it is a major weather disaster or apocalyptic, SHTF scenario, when the cell phones, landlines and satellites go down, the last, and quite possibly only source of short and long range communications will be the open airwaves.
When shopping for a two way radio prepper kit, the following features will be most important:
Range – Range is absolutely crucial to emergency communications, especially in sparsely populated areas or if the disaster encompasses a wide area. A higher powered model can often provide more range, especially in urban or rough terrain. A removable antenna is also very critical to range, as it allows you to swap it for fine tuning or attach an external antenna that can be moved around or set at a higher elevation. A radio with more power and a removable antenna can actually provide much greater range than a model with higher wattage alone.
Battery Life - The importance of backup power during any emergency or catastrophic event cannot be understated, and in the event of an extended outage or complete loss of the power grid, keeping your radio charged and operational may be vital to survival. Look for models with extremely long battery life that can be charged and/or powered by vehicle DC voltage, plus the ability to operate on standard AA or AAA batteries when needed.
Durability – Reliable communications are a lifeline to others in any emergency, so it is very important that your radios can stand up to the rigors of such an event. Look for a radio with solid construction, greater durability and weatherproofing that can take the stress of extended use. A radio with an ingress protection rating of IP54 or higher is recommended.
