The RTO Basic Course’s task and purpose is to understand tactical communications with off the shelf gear. It’s a come-as-you-are class, just like it will be in a prepper’s retreat, rapidly getting new folks up to speed on essential tasks who may have a wide variety of equipment. The Advanced RTO course steps far beyond this; our mission is operational, focused on taking what we know and now making it much harder to be broken, even if all we have is an analog Baofeng, some coax and connectors, and a spool of wire. And for some, that may be all you have at some point. As often is the case, what we want and what we have are two different things; if you can effectively use what’s simple, everything else becomes an enabler.
God bless and I’ll see you out there.
