RE: What Radio do you use
I'm going for a 2 pronged approach to my comms. I've got the UV-5R, which, as LightSpeed covers above, does the 2m & 70cm bands. (130ish to 150ish & 420ish to 500ish). That's fine as you can use repeaters to improve your distance etc.
then I'm going to get a 10meter ham radio that can also broadcast on the CB frequencies. This is technically a little bit naughty, but I'm not going to be smashing out 25w all day long so shouldn't be a problem. Plus OfCom are too busy chasing illegal downloads at the moment to worry about little old me broadcasting with a bit too much power
