Show Notes
FRS radios are a great start, but they aren't the whole plan. They work for kids, neighbors, and short-range use — but when the storm hits or the grid goes down, you may need more.
In this episode, Caleb Nelson (K4CDN) explains how FRS fits into a complete family communication plan, including:
-
The strengths and limits of FRS radios
-
How GMRS, MURS, and ham radio build on that foundation
-
Why thinking in layers — the Cascade Protocol — makes families stronger
-
How National Preparedness Month is the right time to move from gear to plan
FRS is a tool worth having, and combined with clarity, it's what keeps families connected.
