Theres about forty threads posted recently talking about anything EXCEPT the simplest option ??? 
NR - what you've been seeing over the past few weeks are clued up people doing their level best to second guess an infinite number of solutions to each and everyones standard radio comms setup.
The truth is - there is no holy grail - there is no single workable system that will get someone in Wales in regular contact with someone in Scotland outside of HAM equipment.
CB will be fine for nearly everyones local comms - <>5-10 mile range - but as with all radio comms - your geographical location will determine your coverage , and sometimes somebody will need a bit more power , on a different band , to be heard.
I've spent
a lot of time looking at handsets , mobile units , antennas , and refreshing myself with up to date info on the best available gear , I know what
I require now , and have tried to share some of my findings with all of you.
Your requirements may not be the same as mine , please heed this.
If you want an existing system , tried and tested - then go the UKFM CB route , it may not be perfect for some , but , things start getting complicated beyond this.
