For the size and wait of a radio it is not as much of a priority as other things in a survival kit. It would make more sense to place a radio in a larger kit that had items like a gun or large first aid kit, but in something small you just want to have the essentials. But if you want one don't let me stop you. If you did get one you probably should get one that they use in air force survival kits. Those seem to be good, but I really don't know much on the subject. <img src="images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
