About the Book

Most vehicle communications don't fail because the radio is bad.
They fail because vehicles move, terrain lies, power fluctuates, and people panic.

Vehicle-Based Communications Systems is a practical field guide to building communication setups that survive real expeditions-not driveway tests or marketing claims. This book focuses on convoy operations, overlanding, off-road travel, and remote expeditions where communication failure isn't hypothetical, it's expected.

Instead of chasing miracle gear, this guide teaches systems thinking:
how vehicles, radios, antennas, power, terrain, and human behavior interact-and how to design layered communication plans that fail gracefully instead of catastrophically.

Inside you'll learn:

  • Why vehicle comms normally fail-and why that's not incompetence, it's physics

  • Proven convoy roles (lead, tail, relay, node) that prevent silent failures

  • GMRS, amateur radio, HF/NVIS, and mesh networks-what each actually does well

  • Antenna placement decisions that matter more than brand or power

  • How motion, terrain, and noise quietly destroy "perfect" installs

  • Vehicle-based repeaters, relays, and temporary communication nodes

  • Power systems that survive vibration, heat, cold, and bad luck

  • Communication protocols that still work under stress

  • Emergency, SAR, and interoperability realities most guides ignore

  • Minimal-comms and worst-case plans when electronics fail completely

This is not a prepper fantasy.
It's not an engineer's textbook.
And it's not gear hype.

It's written for overlanders, expedition leaders, off-road groups, SAR volunteers, and preparedness-minded travelers who need communications that work when conditions stop being friendly.

If you've ever said:

  • "We had radios... but they stopped working"

  • "Everyone was talking and nothing got through"

  • "We lost a vehicle and didn't notice"

  • "The gear was good-so why did comms collapse?"

This book exists to answer that honestly.

***Print book has several blank pages at end for note taking.
