Basically most are SSB nets and such you described,so let me try and run them down from what I’ve observed in post Katrina
US Coast Guard – They work on many USB frequencies usually in the 2-4 Mhz range meaning the radios in question will need a outside antenna to listen to anything. Also they work Maritime VHF a lot
Red Cross- They have their own radios and the last I remember they are on 40 Mhz FM or the Amateur ham bands
State Emergency Management- Didn’t say what state. Most utilize the 700-800 mhz frequenices , Amateur frequencies, and Satellite phones and preset low band HF frequncies
FEMA- Cell phones the last I looked… Most of FEMA uses state resources, cell phones, or Federal frequecies in high 160 mhz range
hurricane net -14 Mhz USB and 7 Mhz LSB amateur bands
US Army National Guard- Military frequencies all over (Need Popular communications for ideas as they can transmit almost anywheres they want as they are separate from FCC) including some Amateur radio repeaters (as military has first dibs on most ham frequencies above 420 mhz)
US Army Corps of Engineers- If I remember 450 mhz and 800 mhz repeaters)
Maritime calling – Various frequencies on HF and VHF.. check out WLO for ideas
Army MARS- Frequencies usually on either side of HF ham bands such as 4004 khz for example in SSB
SATERN – Usually 14 mhz USB amateur
RACES- anywheres where the nets that are set for state traffic is decided, usually 3.7, 7, and 14 mhz (Amateur bands)
So forget s350,300, and the radio shack as you need a radio that can do SSB (or on some it’s called a BFO (Beat frequency Oscillator).
The G5 in ratings was underwhelming in performance from what I read as a utility listening rig. Best to get a real listening radio such as the more expensive rigs for most listening. Short of buying new (http://www.universal-radio.com/ is one place) , best to find a old ham rig for a few hundred as most built in the last 20 years will do the job you want and will do it better than these portables as you will need a massive listening wire as remember. Most of the consumer radios are made for picking up 50,000 watt stations, not 100 watt ham rigs
But for actual frequencies:
