Description
The Ready Radio PACE Comms Planner Cards help you organize how your family or team will communicate when your everyday methods stop working.

From emergency contacts and rally points to repeater settings and equipment checklists, these cards keep the details of your plan together in a compact format you can carry with your kit.
