All electronic devices are tracked inherently by nature of technoloogy itself.
In WW2 Germans were tracking partisans with special radio cars, GPS and other location method are a ’90’s invention.

In conclusion buy a model without any location services/protocols as GPS, GLONASS, APRS, etc. but some of them are used for better synchronisation of signal with others stations and repeaters towers for a better, clearer signal & strenght.

Ham radio receivers have no tracking device. If you transmit, it is possible to triangulate and locate your point of transmission. In a crisis, you would have to be quite a threat for the government to use scare resources to monitor and track you. If you don”t transmit, you have the advantage of hearing unfiltered news from sources at the point of interest, and no one is going to hunt you down.

Monica if you don’t mind then I’m with you, because I keep seeing all this advise to buy this electric/electronic gadget and keep wondering how it will work when the grid goes down!Personally I don’t have a ham radio or any electronic devices in my staches because I’m afraid they have tracking devices in them that maybe could be used to track me by the government even after grid down. thanks

Your only reliable intel may just be to observe, at a distance with binoculars, hospitals abandoned and mandatory Fema camp relocation.

Scout observation points now, and consider remote concealed video monitoring.

Watch for police refusing to arrest and transport ebola perps.

Ambulance drivers are good intel sources.

Forbes’ David Kroll – an adjunct professor at Duke University Medical Center – notes:

The Associated Press and other press outlets have agreed not to report on suspected cases of Ebola in the United States until a positive viral RNA test is completed.

In other words, the mainstream media has agreed not to report on any suspected Ebola cases.

I guess the Ebola czar has been a busy boy, after all … you know, preventing panic and all that.
