\"All<\/a><\/p>\n

One of the comments I frequently received when the Signals Handbook, Volume One was released, was that it was to “tactical” and military oriented. \u00a0 Indeed, it was, because that is the intended audience. \u00a0 After browsing through many radio and communication threads on various discussion forums, it seems that some folks can’t separate the different ways a radio can be used. \u00a0 Radios are a valuable tool for “preppers” and other preparedness minded people. \u00a0 They can be used to monitor the local, and national situation. \u00a0 They can be used to call for help. \u00a0 They can be used to notify friends, family, and loved ones of someones status and well being. \u00a0 In short, they are a great prep tool. \u00a0 But that is not all they can do. \u00a0 Radios, and other signal methods can also be used for the protection and security of ones group. \u00a0 It is this niche application that the signals handbooks are being developed. \u00a0 Depending on the situation, any small group may face threats from the outside world. \u00a0 It is this rare, but dangerous condition that the small team can be greatly aided by good COMSEC procedures, proper radio discipline, and a little bit of practice.<\/p>\n
