I have in the rig only these:
2meter Yeasu mobile (FT2800m) Cobra CB buying this today: http://www.universal-radio.com/catalog/scanners/4445.html (the scanner will scan CB up to 800 mhz, so I will set it up with calling freqs and only turn radio on when needed. You can program the FRS freqs in as well) Am replacing the big cobra CB unit with this: http://www.www.premiere-electronics.net/store/cobra75wxst.html Also adding 4 FRS/GMRS with rechargeables in rear cubby on chargers velcroed in. Home I have another scanner and a HT Yeasu FT50RD. (440/2m) Plan on adding a notebook and a HF mobile rig with remote head later on... |

I finally got a reprieve from the office, and I will be working on the final draft tonight and tomorrow. Should have it up by tomorrow night at the latest-barring any other disasters at the office.
Sorry for the delays guys

To the above I would add a deep cycle marine battery and a decent charger (doesn't have to be expensive). I would also construct a multi-use wiring harness with multiple ends (cigarette lighter plug, alligator clips etc) to charge your batteries and/or run your station using unconventional means. To me, getting through an emergency is all about having a layered strategy, allowing you to be flexible enough to overcome a given problem-no matter what Murphy throws at you. ETA: For example, here is an updated version of the portable power stations I built for the Dec 2008 ice storm. You can build one yourself fairly inexpensively and use it to keep your comms running, as well as tons of other things in an emergency: http://home.comcast.net/~cjan99999/PortablePowerStation_v4.jpg After the 2008 ice storm I built over a dozen of these power stations for the remote employees at my company. They used them to keep their laptops, modems, and cell phones running. You could adapt it easily for your emergency comms-or anything else that needed power. Inside the black plastic box is a deep cycle marine battery. I included a battery charger with each station, but since nobody had electricity I also included a charging pigtail that could be plugged into the cigarette lighter of their vehicles to charge the battery. I'm working on a how-to guide for anyone interested in building one for themselves. I'll post it in a couple of days when it's done 
That's slick and easy to build. Great idea and thanks for the infomation. A few of those would be perfect for Huricane Season here in FL. |

Is that scanner you're buying digital and a trunking model? What's it cost? 100 bucks. I don't think it will handle digital and trunking, but I won't monitor those freqs anyway. Only what I need - HAM and CB/FRS freqs. Google it for prices, also flying J truck stop carries them for 129. More info on it: Bearcat 355C scanner |

Quoted: More like take a deep breath and hold it.Quoted: the wait here has been ridiculous. i have seen threads implode in GD in less time than this. cripes, the F22 *and* the F35 will both be out of production before this thread gets concluded. it's just unbelievable. ar-jedi  "steady...stay on target......" ETA: AR-JEDI cost me 30 more dollars today |
