Nobody has mentioned the race radios? Like from PCI or Ruggedradios? I have a group of about ten rigs that travel together. We used to use CB's. That works for just a small caravan. But, if all ten were running together, there would be problems getting from the front to back. So, we all moved to race radios. We have them in our motorhomes, tow vehicles, and sand toys. The 50 watt radios are amazing how far they can get out. Easily 25 miles, and it is not line of sight. They get out over mountains and sand dunes. When we go out 4wheeling for the day, they can monitor us in base camp. Actually needed them to save us last year!
OP here,
My son has one of those "Race Radios". It's an "I-com" and, as of yet, I'm not sure what the story is on those. I'm not sure what band or frequency they operate on and, whether or not any or all of them are legal or not to operate on the bands and frequencies they do. Nobody's taken the time to explain to me, just what the story is on those, are the HF, FM, UHF, what? He doesn't really know, he just went along with the off road group he pits for and, bought the same one that most of them have and use.
