What’s a good ham radio to buy?

survivor01 mins

This one is a loaded question.  A good ham radio is one that works when you need it.  Here are my favorite ham radios, in no particular order, for survival.

  • Yaesu VX-8DR (Read review)
  • Icom IC-T10
  • Baofeng UV9R Pro
  • Tidradio TD-H8 HAM (not waterproof or water resistant)
  • Baofeng UV-5R (not waterproof or water resistant) (Read review)
  • Baofeng UV-17 Pro GPS (IP54 water resistant) (Read review)

If any manufacturers want to send me their ham radio HT for testing to see if I can add to this list, please contact me and I will review the radio.
