I need to find out what type of 2 way radio to go with for my business?

2 way radios
Dustin S asked:


We are looking into getting 2 way radio’s that we can talk about 50+ miles on, what type do I need? were looking on ebay for used units, and have noticed UHF, VHF, 800mhz, and lower mhz units, our local radio shop is giving me the runaround because they want to sell us the radios and service for repeating…
so are there any handhelds that can go that far without repeater service? or what type should we go with? any info can help thanks!
are there any radios that will work without repeaters 50 miles?
