Welcome Joejet. This is a great Prepper group. I'd say that probably half the people here are Hams and that will come in really handy when the SHTF. Definitely get your General ticket. A couple of people here have the G90 radios. JohnnyMac probably can be of great benefit on getting it properly set up. If I didn't already have a backup HF radio, I'd definitely buy a G90. I looked to see if you could use CHIRP to install your memory frequencies but it didn't show up on the list.
