Dear Reader:

This is my site and reflects my opinion. It is intended to offer ideas, examples and suggestions. It is not saying that I am right and you are wrong. This is a big world and EMCOMM is at least a little different in every locale. I am trying to discuss issues and uncover best practices. If you do things differently or have questions or comments, please share and help educate us all.

The Challenges of "Cheap Chinese"

AuthorDavid Coursey, N5FDL DateSun, February 3, 2013 at 11:17PM

A friend told me about a prepper group that looked into buying a dozen $50 handie-talkies for their kits. I warned him about the danger of buying radios that cannot be fully powered off AA batteries after the rechargeable quits.

On the other hand, in some cases, maybe that should be our little secret?
