Emergency radios and communications
Receiving public information and talking to another person need different equipment. Check both reception needs and how the device will stay powered.
The checks that decide the fit
- Check local broadcast or weather coverage.
- distinguish receiving from transmitting.
- verify equipment authorization and charging arrangements.
