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.

A 10 meter radio is for the 10 meter amateur (ham) radio band. You
need a ham radio license use it there.

10 meter radio is an amateur rig and you need a license to transmit with it.

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