Telephone landlines have been prohibitively expensive for decades now for alot of Americans. I heard that you have to have some sort of special license and/or permit to even use a ham radio. If so... screw it. It is the end of the world as we know it. Fuck the rules, really.

CB and shortwave radio... good luck with that. Smoke signals... that is bound to get really rough when it comes to sexting. Walkie talkies... I think those signals can be traced, something similar with ham radios, but much more easily with walkie talkies.

Walkie talkies are just hand held transmitters. Most are in the VHS or UHF bands because of performance such as antenna length. I highly recommend the new FRS units at 2 watts. Good for the neighborhood area. Try and get the Motorola brand before China starts making them. Yes, Motorola was sold to a Hong Kong firm some months ago.

Also, Uniden, Cobra, and Midland still make the classic CB walkie talkies for 11 meters. Not as portable but they retail from $45 to $100.

That would be a big 10-4. The secret of hand held units are: 1. battery, 2. antenna. Since the gubermint restricts the antenna on FRS to being FIXED....the bigger, the better. Like those DeWalt models. A bigger battery gives more time in the field plus has more amps. Limited to 2 watts, details matter. That said, in suburbs those things can probably get nearly a mile range. Does not seem like much but while sitting in YOUR house, you can talk to someone in THEIR house several blocks away.

Note: some units are limited to .5 watts across the board. Others only 1 watt. Get the 2 watts. Check the specs.
