Ok so now you're suggesting to go with just a single band of 2m?

Is that the most popular with the most info during emergencies/SHTF?

And easiest for a few of us to communicate and group together?

You don't think we should have at least a dual band with 2m & 440?

Why not?

I am looking for a radio that will scan & listen all local/national emergencies along with weather etc.

The FT 270 is a full Rx scanner isn't it?

That is another thing I think is important.

AM/FM would be nice. But I don't think this has either does it?

I do like how the FT-270 can at least get wet and not be ruined.

And for the guy talking about Katrina and repeaters down - you may be right, but local HAMs really pulled through and helped so much by doing what they do. So even some were down, HAM was still the only way to really communicate.

Lol @ Duster
