Long Range Radio Communications with 5 Watts

How far do you think I will be able to communicate effectively with a 5 watts radio transceiver?

I know that Motorola has handheld radios with 1 or 2 watts transmit power, but I am looking for the longest transmission range possible.

Are there 5 watt radios that I can get hold of that have a longer range like I want?
