Hey guys, new to the civilian comms life, my experience outside of the military with radios is minimal, I have good knowledge of radio's on the .mil side of things, but beyond that not so much. I want to start getting a good radio system in place, I realize that for any kind of useable range outside of a couple miles I'm going to need to get a ham license for bands that have decent range. My question is about the radios themselves. I see the baofengs, anytones, yaesu's and a few others, however I'm lost in the bandwidth, frequencies etc as I'm still studying for my license.
