The Baofeng Radio Family Lifeline: handheld radio for households planning ahead

Who is Morse Code Publishing?

Baofeng means nothing to most people and a great deal to a particular kind of listener: the inexpensive handheld radio that turned two-way communication from a hobbyist’s expense into something an ordinary household could afford. A guide built around it is a guide with a very clear reader in mind.

Morse Code Publishing is the byline attached to The Baofeng Radio Family Lifeline, and beyond the work itself we hold nothing about whoever sits behind that name, so we will not invent it. What the catalogue does tell us is where the title belongs. It is shelved under home and garden alongside sports and outdoors, which is the practical corner: preparedness, camping, and the perfectly reasonable question of how a family stays in contact when the usual networks are not there.

Morse Code Publishing in audiobooks

Four hours, narrated by Luke Oldham, is a sensible shape for instruction of this kind. Long enough to cover the ground properly, short enough that a listener could get through the whole thing before the equipment even arrives.

No listener scores have been posted yet, so there is nothing to report on that front. Approach it as a working guide rather than an evening’s entertainment: the sort of title you play once with the handset in front of you, then return to when something specific needs checking. Anyone assembling a household emergency plan, or heading somewhere without reliable signal, is the intended audience. What is currently available is set out below.
