I have some of that stuff on my lists to get. I do have several portable radios, boom boxes/radio/tape/cd players. All operate with batteries and electricity. Have one that uses battery and hand crank to recharge.
The one that is probably the best is an Am/FM/TV/12 band radio. It will pick up news from overseas - used to listen to BBC now and then. Still need to work on communication though no CB etc. Wish I was rich - I have a list a mile long.
CB’s are dirt cheap, you can get just about anywhere for little to no money, the other stuff can get rather pricey, but there are bargains out there, just keep your eyes open to different possibilities too.
I found a CB for $40 at a pawn shop.
Works great, loud and clear. But all the truckers sound —to me, at least—like that incoherent guy on King of the Hill. Real rednecks, yeehaw.
In a collapse situation, truckers will be very, very important. CB skills will be good to have.
