I agree, and it’s interesting, but it cut a lot of people out who couldn’t get it.
(My husband got trapped in an elevator once, so he ‘Morsed’ the SOS on the alarm. I had been wondering what was taking him so long to come home...)

I know I was one of them I passed the written test couldn’t get the code but I believe code is a must your husband is proof of it’s many uses.

Even if you’re not licensed to transmit, it’s useful to have in an emergency so you can hear what’s going on in your area.

I think, in a SHTF situation, "licenses" will be meaningless.
Now, I need to learn how to use it.

Well, I was thinking of ‘normal’ emergencies like big storms and other natural disasters.
(Just be careful of the circumstances under which you decide licenses to be ‘meaningless’. The ham community doesn’t take kindly to people ignoring the rules.)

I understand and appreciate the advice.
I'll look into a license, when I figure out how to use the radios.
I got them, primarily, for SHTF, which I think is highly probable within the next year.
