Frequently asked

Questions about emergency communications

Do I need a license to operate emergency radios?
Most business-band and public-safety frequencies require an FCC license or authorization through a local emergency management agency. Consumer GMRS and ham radio have their own licensing paths.
Can satellite messengers replace two-way radios?
They complement each other. Satellite messengers excel for one-way check-ins and location sharing; two-way radios provide real-time voice coordination among teams on the ground.
