Why choose Rainworks

Comms gear that's ready the day it arrives.

Buying parts separately means sourcing a radio, battery, antenna, connectors and a bag, then spending weekends wiring and programming. We do that part for you, and stand behind it.

  • Support before and after you buy
Our story

Built for portability

Light, balanced packs that ride on a hip belt, a MOLLE panel or in a go-bag, with nothing snagging or dangling.

Programmed with purpose

Local repeaters, simplex and weather channels for the areas you choose, labeled in plain English, not frequency soup.

Built by radio users

We run this gear on nets, trails and power outages. Every layout choice comes from real use in the field.

Tested before it ships

Fused, labeled wiring and an on-air check on every pack, backed by a 1-year workmanship warranty.

Made for beginners too

A printed quick-start card, a plain-English guide and straight answers about what your license allows.

Real people, before and after

Ask on chat, WhatsApp or email. No card needed to order: we email an invoice and you pay your way.

“I got my license last spring and had no idea where to start with gear. The Trailhead Pack showed up programmed with every repeater around me, and the quick-start card had me checking into the local net the same evening. It rides in my truck every day now and goes on every hike. It cost a little more than buying the parts myself, but I'd have spent weeks figuring out what I got on day one.”

“The Ridgeline Pro runs our whole weekend net without a recharge. The build quality is far better than the pack I tried to put together myself.”
Dana R. · Asheville, NCOwns: Ridgeline Pro Pack
“Solid, well-built pack and the wiring is neat and labeled. Shipping took a few days longer than I hoped because it's built to order, but they kept me updated by email the whole time.”
Priya S. · Raleigh, NCOwns: Ridgeline Pro Pack
“I asked a lot of beginner questions on WhatsApp before ordering and got clear, patient answers every time. Paying by invoice was simple.”
