This is an example of a waterproof portable GMRS for emergency deployments. You could use this same design to make a ham radio repeater because there are ham radio repeaters with the same form factor as the GMRS repeater used in this configuration.

Folks will debate which is better for an emergency, a ham or GMRS rig. In reality, they are the same tool, they just operate on a different portion of the spectrum.

⚡️⚡️⚡️ Having someone skilled in managing radio traffic is far more important than which frequency you have your repeater set to. You can gain these skills by joining a local ham or GMRS club and participating in their radio nets. Also consider looking to see if you have a local Skywarn, RACES or ARES group. ⚡️⚡️⚡️

These kinds of set ups are frequently called a go-box .
