    Bring back the original Spark Gap Xmitter... Yea, a Digital Spark Gap! Don't expect it to do more than simple text messaging though. Jamming is impossible 'cause it does all the jamming anyone could want, on all/any frequency, unless it's tuned up very carefully!

    The FCC will still try to hunt you down though... so, CB or Ham radio is the best option - just remember it's not private!

    I can imagine an "underground personal SONET" that clandestinely rides on intercepted dark (un-used) optical fiber cables!

    These guys might have some interesting tips (and traps!): http://www.2600.com/

    There are some cons to this particular model but overall I've been pretty satisfied with it. It has a nice balance of a lot of things for such a small package.

    If I had it to do over, I'd go with a cheaper handheld and spend the saved money on a 6 -160 meter portable HF transceiver & accessories.
    You can get a Wauxon or Boefeng very very cheap (well under $100).

    What do you think of something like this? Hand crank...

    Rand can win in 2016 only after the security guards will listen to us rather than the establishment hacks and only after we are able to ensure that the rules are followed and the votes accurately tallied.

    The reviews there seem pretty straightforward about what it is and how it does.

    I'm after a far greater range myself but could also see a use for a short distance radio system, but maybe not that short. Like the crank though.

    If the government tries to shut down all communication with radio interference then there are other less efficient and slower ways to communicate. Programmed drones with exact details to reach a location with your message. Not ideal, but will work even with radio interference by the government.

    A totally EMP resistant and organic means of communication.

    Communication devices can also be used to "attract" the enemy in useful cases. Perhaps to see which way the wind blows.
