Quick buying guide

Communication · where to start

BUY · 01

Cover the basics

~£20-30

Start with the cheapest, longest-shelf-life option. Stash it and forget it for a quarter.

BUY · 02

Add the redundancy

~£10-20

A backup that uses a different mechanism. If option 1 fails, option 2 still works.

BUY · 03

Spend up if you travel

~£40+

For trips outside the home — light, durable, field-serviceable. The honest one.
