How this site is funded

EmergencyRadio.org is free to use and carries no paywalls, no accounts, and no popups.

As an Amazon Associate, this site earns from qualifying purchases. Where this site links to products, some of those links are affiliate links - if you buy through them, the retailer pays this site a small commission at no extra cost to you. That revenue pays for hosting and the time to keep the data and guides current.

One referral link, disclosed plainly: the Starlink link on this site is a referral link. If you sign up through it, Starlink gives you a free month of service and gives this site a free month too - so it's a discount for you as much as support for the site. That's the only referral of its kind here; everything else is a standard retail affiliate link as described above.

The rules:

• Recommendations are written before affiliate considerations, from operating experience with the gear category - never assembled from a commission table.
• We link the same product we'd tell a neighbor to buy. Where the true answer is "the cheap one is fine," the page says so.
• Nobody pays for placement, reviews, or edits. No sponsored posts.
• A product link takes you to the retailer's site, where their own cookies and privacy practices apply - that's how affiliate credit works. Nothing follows you back here.

If you ever spot advice on this site that reads like it was written to sell rather than to inform, that's a defect - report it like any other error (see About).
