Will radio work in an apocalypse?
Depends on what you mean by radio system. For example cell phones use radio waves to complete calls, and that system would likely fall apart fairly fast, depending on the enviroment and where the electricity is coming from. (I’d estimate from a few days to a few months).
What kind of radio do you need for the apocalypse?
First, it’s important to note that the best radio for preppers is a HAM RADIO because ham radios are the most versatile. A single ham radio combines all of the variations, features, and capabilities of the other radio services (FRS, GMRS, MURS, marine, CB, weather, shortwave, commercial broadcast).
What kind of radio is SHTF?
SHTF Radio Communication Options:
- CB radios.
- FRS / GMRS Radios.
- MURS Radios.

How do people communicate without satellites?
Satellites did not bring communications….
- You can talk. Works well if the other person is (people are) nearby.
- You can write. Works well when people can read.

Would there be WIFI in an apocalypse?

The power plants needed to provide the electricity for the equipment would soon shutdown because zombies don’t make good engineers. Also the fuel required by the plants would stop arriving.
How long would GPS work after apocalypse?
GPS and similar systems may last many years, but without ground support they are likely to lose accuracy after 6 months (this can be corrected for if you’re skilled) and after a few years it will become harder to get a GPS fix as the satellites break down one by one.
Will walkie talkies work if cell towers are down?
Because you don’t have to dial a number each time you want to transmit, walkie-talkies are quick and easy to use. The handsets transmit directly to each other, so they still work when cell networks fail during natural disasters or power outages.
What would happen if all satellites suddenly disappeared?
What would happen if one day all of humanity’s artificial satellites suddenly disappeared? Within hours, most of the planet’s traffic would grind to a halt, the world economy would shut down, and most countries would declare a state of emergency.
What type of fuel do satellites use?
The current standard propellant for satellites is hydrazine-based fuel, which is highly toxic.
What devices will help people communicate through the Apocalypse?

Should you use your cell phone as a survival radio?
And there’s no shame in utilizing this modern technology. If the cell phone network is operating as normal, by all means, dial away. However, what most people don’t realize is their cell phone is an extremely unreliable mass emergency communication device. So in today’s article, we’ll be covering the following survival radio topics:
Will ham radios become the only long-range communication network?
Ham radios will become the only long-range communication network in a broken world. Why? Because they have the longest communication range and the lowest dependency on grid power. Yes, the radio’s themselves need power, but as an emergency communication device, many ham operators plan for that ahead of time.
