Keep three factors in mind. 1) In an emergency you will not want to, or even be unable to, recharge batteries. 2) The shelf life of most rechargeable batteries (how long they will hold a charge) is horrible, alkaline batteries have shelf lives of up to 10 years. 3) The useful in-use life of an alkaline pack is much better than most rechargeables.1 point

I’d suggest you might set aside your ruffled feathers for a moment and read the email you posted carefully. While I may not agree with everything he wrote to you, a lot of what he said is good advice and at least good food for thought. If you discard all the advice that is given in a tone that disagrees with you, you may be missing a lot if valuable information.1 point

There is a loose interpretation of the rules that say something like "in an emergency, forget all the restrictions you just read." Again, a loose interpretation... but that is the basics of it. That said, it never hurts to practice, practice, practice. The two best pieces of advice I ever got was... the worst time to look for a lawyer is after you need one, and the worst time to learn how to use emergency equipment is during an emergency.1 point

While I think it is an interesting little rig, personally I would stick to the radios I have. I don't feel the equipment is on par with the better known brands like Motorola, Kenwood, and Icom. Especially since I can get any of the three for less than the asking price of the 50x1 ($180+tax & shipping.)1 point
