RV FEATURE
All vehicles should have a UHF radio fitted .
COMMUNICATIONS
Consider short , medium and longdistance communications for every trip you take , regardless of how remote you may or may not be .
While understanding the remotearea restrictions of a mobile phone , never discount where you might get a glimpse of reception to send a message , or call a loved one or first-responder ( just don ’ t rely on it ). Consider a phone booster as an inclusion ; while it can ’ t generate a signal where there is none , they can boost a low signal into a usable service .
UHF radios are great for car-tocar convoy communications and contacting other road users and travellers . Knowing how to take advantage of repeater stations and channels can greatly extend their use .
Emergency location devices and trackers are ideal emergency tools . Some can allow loved ones to keep track of where you are and provide a messaging service to authorities .
StarLink is the latest and greatest form of communication , allowing contact with the outside world almost anywhere . As well as using it for general internet connectivity , the ability to send and receive most forms of modern technology is superb .
