RADIO advice sought for URBAN prepping

[River Song]

OggyDoggy - How did you rig them for covert working?

Seems to me so far that the Baofeng UV5R are still a good buy
but I worry about the distance.

Those mitel ones look pretty good and have a good range.
Price point is not bad.

What is a 'guerilla repeater'?

I can guess the guerilla part and I can guess that a repeater
takes your signal and repeats it. What part does this play in the overall scheme of things?

I'm rather time limited and at the moment I'm still caught up with 802.11 wifi to see whether this can be extended wide area.
