Portable Ham Radio

[zouch]

if you don't understand this, it sounds to me like you don't actually have an Amateur Radio License and shouldn't be using a Ham radio.

get your license. (seriously; it's not that hard, and you'll learn something about how much you don't know.)
even then, get a Garmin InReach.

Getting a little beyond my level here. LOL What I'm looking for is a device suitable for long trips in case of emergency. This is not intended to speak w/ any particular person/group (I have a great walkie talkie pair for local conversations). I just want something to feel safe with on the road a long way from home.
