Not really? I’d think just check the specs to make sure it’s 2w fm on the (iirc) FRS band. I forget which is which, but one band allows unlicensed operation at 2w, the other at 0.5. Again IIRC, The law used to say 0.5 for both so maybe some older radios would be limited.

Now that I think about it- If you’ve got time to prepare and you have a group you’re not interested in talking outside of, MURS is another band you can use without a license. I’ve only ever seen one in a Microcenter once, but the internet is always your friend. MURS used to be for businesses, and some have grandfathered licenses which take precedent, so if there’s like a Walmart around you’re technically in the wrong if you interrupt their operations.

Lastly, the Baofeng Uv-5r or bf-f8hp are both capable of listening and transmitting on amateur, FRS, GMRS and MURS frequencies. talking on the amateur bands without a license, or on the other freqs with a baofeng is illegal, though they’d have a hard time proving it was you and enforcement is the job of the FCC. Listening on any band is not illegal.

Speech inversion??? That’s old school cool!

Thanks for the kudos. You can definitely catch some distance on a CB, but who wants to pack an 11m yagi? Lol.

I mean they all transmit in the open..

CB just wasn’t built for a walkie talkie form factor. The cheap ones are 4w AM at the antenna jack (thanks FCC..) and half that power is being used for the carrier, and at 27mhz the ideal quarter wave antenna is like 105” so if you buy one with an 8” antenna you’re getting like 0.2w radiated power (that’s wrong but you get the idea) which makes for a nice hand warmer but won’t get you far beyond line of sight.

FRS/GMRS is up to 2w FM radiated power. FM has its own issues in a setting like that but will generally be easier to use for short range point to point contacts.

Don’t get me wrong, the absolute glut of glorious democracy is going to overwhelm DC’s infrastructure regardless :)

You don’t need tests! Call your boss and tell them you’re coofing. That’s an instant quarantine.

FTFY. It’s such a cute story that it’s hard to forget :)

DO NOT GET CB RADIOS.

Regular blister pack walkie talkies are FRS/GMRS and if you haven’t prepared then they’ll be your best bet.

I agree with the rest of this, and it was probably just a careless misuse of the term by OP.

It’s a safety needle (e.g. comes with its own safety cap, reduces needle sticks after the fact). Most likely an Eclipse.

Zoom in on the pic, you can see just a bit of the pink safety cap, which is attached but obviously not used yet.

Or maybe there is something of a threat in the virus and some folks can’t see the middle ground because dems have shitted up the water too hard.

I can tell you the rona is real, and I’ve seen healthy folks shrug it off like a weekend flu and less healthy folks get hammered by it. I hate commies as much as the next guy but that doesn’t mean the vaccine is mind controlling Nano it’s.

Doctors and nurses really aren’t at fault, I think. They’re largely beholden to their accrediting bodies though.

It’s basically global warming, but we’ve gotten skeptical of climate scientists enough that they had to pivot to another Trusted Source(rn)

I like masks. Hats too. Very fashionable, keeps the sun off your head and provides instant anonymity for direct action.

Idk pede. I’m all for high morale, in the absence of actual news. If the clock strikes shoot o’clock there won’t be any more time for shitposter.

But I’m also for freedom, and respect your priorities.

In defense of mods, why not laugh? Are we so unsure of ourselves that we have to ready up emotionally for more disappointment? Yes, fun pepes shouldn’t bump legitimate news. But if you can’t stand to see em, stop sorting by top.

Dang. Came here to shit on wignats and found some truth.

Two words, my dudes.

Burner. Phone.

You really wanna be a ninja? Keep that shit wrapped in several layers of foil. And by God don’t put it on your home wifi!
