So I'll preface that I do not currently have my Ham license and my radio knowledge is limited to military radio systems on a basic level. I know there's a few people on here that know radios pretty well, so I'm hoping you can help me out.
What I'm looking for is a vehicle mounted solution that will yield reasonable range without retrans (we have very few public stations here, and the private ones are full for the most part). I'm not sure if single band or dual band is the right fit; this would be primarily for SHTF situations. I'd like to have a system that can do an internal retransmission to a handheld radio (think police/military setup).
I have a friend that is about 140 miles north of me that I'd like to be able to reach, but I don't think that's possible without hitting a retrans station. However, I have intentions of moving up his way which would put me inside of 50 miles.
I appreciate any information on equipment that y'all can provide!!
