In a way, you could almost forget the radio,.. the radio is not the important piece of equipment here,.. you could get a very old CB radio of Ebay for almost nothing and have a good system

What does make the difference is not the radio, but the terrain and the antenna,.. a terrible radio will work great with a great Antenna,..so concentrate on that piece of equipment

The terrain you want to broadcast over is the other problem, mountainous area like mine needs a different kind of antenna to someone who wants to only transmit over flat country

So my simple answer is buy an old CB radio for next to nothing, and spend most of your outlay on the antenna,.. I would suggest that you talk to someone more local who knows radios and ask their advice, they will know your area better than we do
