You are listing ham radios for survival, but your list includes two Baofeng Chinese-crap radios? Is someone paying you?

Furthermore, you exclude the Yaesu VX-6R - the only handheld I aware of that is water submersible - this surely qualifies it as the more rugged outdoors survival handheld.

Do better.

Interested. But how do you charge it back up if there’s no power available?

At nearly $400 for a pair, might be why

Pretty sure nobody is going to be coming around to check for your ham radio license after the apocalypse.

I’d love to see a post on SDR ham options. Most of the stuff I found online is several years old. There ought to be a way to use a cell phone or tablet as an SDR interface.
