Radios — Overview & Decision Graph

Reference Foundations & Reference Current

Overview

This is the navigator for the Radios series — the lineup at a glance, the "which radio for X" decision graph, the license envelope, posture mapping, and how each per-device deep dive is structured. It is the radio-scoped slice of the series' shared overview material, pointing into the DMR-network, programming, frequency, and reference topic dives that follow. Scoped to the Radios project as part of the Scanners/Radios restructure Stage 2 Phase 3 (2026-06-16); the scanner-scoped counterpart lives in the Scanners project.

Context

The radios in the lineup span pocket VHF/UHF handhelds, HF portables, DMR HTs and hotspots, RX-only receivers, and CW gear. This overview frames how they relate and where to start.
