I am a new poster her. I am looking for recommendations on a
portable tranceiver that might include the following
characteristics.

1) Strong enough to be heard worldwide with a minimal antenna as
possible 2) Lightweight, carry on a backpack
3) Easy setup for portability
4) minimal power consumption with battery backup, maybe selective
power depending on desired signal strength
5) frequency bands that are widely
available to the public for worldwide dissemenation
6) I am on a budget so not super expensive.
7) Not super complicated to use-user friendly.

As you can probably tell from this post I am a novice in this field.
I anticipate internet blackout by Gov. and I need to have an
alternate way to communicate.

Thanks for any helpful answers.

I guess maybe I used the wrong word: transceiver mean
transmitter+receiver. I don't want to just listen I want to transmit
to others.

Hi Mike,
I can say without a doubt, the best radio for you would be a CB radio.
With a CB you'll be able to talk to a shit-load of people as dumb or
dumber than you. You'll feel right at home.

Now run along to rec.radio.cb and they'll hook you up.

Are you sure your real name isn't Macaroni as in Macaroni 4 brains?
No run along to alt.morons where you belong.

Are you sure Marconi is your name, more like macaroni (for brains) if you
ask me. Now run along to alt.morons where you belong.

handie-talkies are not for long range. Just buy the cheapest radio at a
truck stop and learn how to properly set it up and tune your antenna.
You have a lot to learn. If you want guided learning go to a ham radio
club.
