Off-Road Emergency Radios

Two-way radios are a reliable, safe and efficient way for emergency responders to communicate with each other in real time. They allow emergency service personnel to stay in touch with each other even in remote areas or hazardous conditions.

There are six main types of emergency communications equipment used to communicate in remote areas: satellite communications equipment; cellular communications equipment; amateur radios; CB radios; GMRS radios; and FRS radios.

Today we will discuss the advantages and limitations of GMRS mobile radios in the backcountry. This will help you better understand off-road communication setups.
