The Tsunami in Japan brought many lessons to the world. We have seen the Japanese stand tall and straight. Confidence, strength and independence have been their example. Beyond the esoteric lessons Japan taught us many lessons that in a similar situation could help you and I avoid lost time or energy and maybe even save emergency radio a life.

Before buying clocks there are several factors to consider. How about we begin by first deciding what type of clock we want? The number of types of clocks in existence is mind boggling. We for example have to know whether we want a wall clock or a huge grand father clock. This plays the most important role in our decision.

Emergency blanket: Another "just in case item" is the emergency blanket. These are also inexpensive and light-weight to carry in your backpack for the unexpected circumstances that may come up during a hike. Better to be safe than sorry!
You will need a well equipped first aid kit that also can be kept in one of the backpacks along with an emergency radio that can be manually wound up. Put in a LARGE supply of matches that have been waterproofed. SEVERAL flashlights that feature the new LED lights that can be either shaken or wound up. Also make sure to have a supply of FRESH batteries of every size that you will be needing NOW not later!
Although it is Dr Cooper who is widely recognized for fathering the cell phone usage, it wasn't entirely an original idea of his. His rival, Joel Engel who was then the head of the researches at AT&T Bell Labs was the first to develop the electronic components of cellular technology.
Acoustics - The sound system varies in each. Most LCDs have two speakers with a stereo effect and a power output of 6 watts, 3 watts for each speaker and the surround mode adds to the effect of an immediate and a very near impact. For example there maybe a lion roaring on the screen but it may seem as if it were in the same room with us! There are others with 10watts too. Depending on the size of the room one can choose the right kind. A very large room can accommodate acoustics of a more sophisticated kind but smaller rooms do not require this.
It's interesting to note that there appears to be very few manufacturers who make an FRS only radio any longer. Mostly, only combination FRS & GMRS handies are being offered new. FRS only handies are available used on eBay, however, and do appear infrequently as NOS (New Old Stock). Icom also makes an FRS only walkie-talkie, but it's not inexpensive.
