I'm looking at a pile of portable radios in my technology junkpile and it occurred to me, should I bring a portable walkie-talkie type radio along? This came to mind since where I will be there is certifiably no cell phone coverage. Suppose the situation is grave. So I have my whistle and signalling mirror. Would it be useful to summons help with a PRS, CB or some other type? I am not a HAM/Amateur. I suppose I'm out of range at five miles.
Now suppose I'm down and out and a rescue party comes looking for me. Would having the radio be helpful at that point?
If this is true, what's the best type of radio to have and what channels are appropriate? Do search and resuce have pre-established channels/frequencies?
Can't seem to find any info on this matter by trolling around the web.
