I am looking at getting a radio and have a few questions that maybe someone here can help me with. One is, what is a 10 meter radio, two is what is a good brand for a base station, i.e. texas ranger, and three is, is a amplifier really needed to get out?

Nah, buy an old icom or kenwood or (insert brand name) For less than $3-500. I like icom except for changing microphones, they have the relay and alc output to the amp as rca jacks. Nice touch. |

You need a ham radio license use it there. |

You dont need an amp if you have a really good antenna, feed line, ground, etc. HTH |
