I also have a question I too am looking for a solutions that does not rely on Cell or Land line communication for emergency purpose only. I live and work near Princeton NJ my Girl Lives with me but works in NY City two or three days a week (doctor). In case something happens in the city do you think we can get away with two hand held units using repeaters? it's about 50 miles line of sight. I have not used HAM before and am just getting an idea if it's viable. thanks Great article!
