I am looking into getting radio setup for my riding group. I have been reading through here and looking at alot of different options. Right now I am thinking about going the Baofeng route due to the price point and verstility of them. (Need to keep this as low as possible)
But I have been trying to research as much as possible on the different rule and regulations with these radios and have having some trouble finding simple straight forward information for a newbie to the radio world.
Basically I'm looking for a good radio setup that our group can talk to eachother within close distances, (trying to find a guy stuck in trees or split up somehwere). And it would be nice to have some sort of option for long distance comms in case of emergency also.
With the Baofengs which model and frequencies would be my best option for me having no radio licensing whatsoever without the possibility of interfering with others and ending up in some potential trouble?
Any advice would be appreciated.
