You must follow FCC rules and regs.
Depends on what your land mobile units modulation is, AM, FM, SSB, SS, FHSS
?
You can get narrowband FM radios cheap in some parts of the bands you
indicated and use "talk around"
Or just get cellphones.

I hope members of this group can help me. I am in the Army National
Guard
and I am charged with setting up emergency communications for my unit. I
need a transceiver that has a wide frequency range that can be issued to
our civilian emergency responders for commo with our land mobile units
(we
cannot issue our military radios). I am looking for approximately 60 MHZ
thru 500 MHZ.

Besides the obvious equipment limitation, there may be laws limiting what
you want to do. The Guard *might* escape prosecution, but your volunteers
might not.

I wonder if there might be military surplus gear available that fits?
