(Follow-up video) What frequencies do you need to program into your emergency radio 

This is a follow-up video to the video I did called What frequencies do you need to program into your emergency radio. www.youtube.com/watch?v=2V40d...

The distances you mentioned sound like VHF & UHF line of sight communications. Repeaters make a BIG DIFFERENCE. One repeater can cover several counties, and Amateur Repeaters can be linked to further increase range. Another option is a remote base attached to a repeater. Several years ago (during one of the 11 year sunspot cycles) I made a contact from California to Maryland using a 1 Watt Handi Talkie with just a rubber duck antenna. Of course I was on the 220 MHz Amateur band and and was using a repeater that had had a 10 Meter (29.6 MHz) remote base that was putting 100 watts into an omni antenna. Never underestimate Amateur Radio, and never attempt to use it without training and a license.

Would be worthwhile to get a digital scanner like a 436hp. Can monitor national interop freqencies and local/state digital public safety operations as well.

good follow up!

FYI, Mass locals don't pronounce Worcester like that... we pronounce it "Woo-Sta" lol

Great video series I liked it could you let us know where you got your notebook cover art from? Could you post it for us?

Cool. Saturday install?

would you happen to know Houston PD's frequency on uv5r?

Just watched you video. Really liked it.. just one question is there a book I could buy for every state frequency or state by state???

How are you gonna "pull them in"?
