Business Radio on a Very Tight Budget?
What is the longest range 2-Way radio system I can set up for less than $200?
I’m thinking about buying a pair of handheld two way radios for my small consulting business. I would like as long of range as possible since I know you get less distance due to building obstructions and weather conditions.
Both radios should have a recharging base they plug into.
I’m looking into this as an alternative to wireless phones since I would only be speaking with one other person 95% of the time (my dispatch).
Using these type of radios would cut down on the need for a larger calling plan with phones since most of my clients are within the same 5-10 mile range. I don’t need private/encrypted channels but the FRS channels around here are too busy with other users.
I’ve seen GMRS radios advertised as being capable of working up to 18 miles. But I would like to find a longer range than that if possible.
I am quite willing to apply for a FCC license if needed.

Walkie Talkie Two Way Radios
Walkie talkie two way radios are used everywhere in the world for work and play. Because they are small and convenient they allow you to carry a personal 2 way radio with you at all times, if you have a need for it.
