[QUOTE="j-dubb, post: 2119289, member: 3343"] I've just started looking into Ham Handheld radio's and doing research. I understand the requirements and getting a license for use, however can you use these on a daily basis to communicate with a co worker out in the field(Oklahoma hills,pastures, woods)? I will be spending a lot of time in the future, where my cell phone provider has spotty service at best. Other cell phone providers in the area work, but I don't plan on getting another cell phone just to use when I'm in a certain area. I was looking at different handheld radios types and everyone leans to HAM as the all around best. Plus I could use it in the future for a SHTF scenario. If both parties have a HAM radio and licenses, is this a good idea to use for daily communications in the field? Or are there better ideas? CB radio is not an option as both parties will be on foot, walking the terrain, up to a couple miles away? [/QUOTE]
