From BARC & the Amateur Radio Emergency Service®

BARC and the Amateur Radio Emergency Service® (ARES®) recommend that every amateur, including new amateurs, own and operate:
- a 2 Meter / 70 cm Dual Band FM Transceiver “mobile radio” with 25-50W of output power.
Two examples: click here and here. - a 25A power supply or, possibly even better for EmComm, a gel cell battery and smart charger.
- an outside “dual band” antenna for the house
- a mobile dual band mobile antenna (magnet mounted?) for your vehicle. Think about garages and drive-thrus when buying this.
