Default good long distance radio

If you go with GMRS radios, and plan to use them with a repeater, make sure
the radios support that function. It requires you to transmit on one
frequency, and receive on another. Many repeaters also require CTCSS, or
possibly DCS capability as well.

Most of the "bubble pack" radios do not work with repeaters. Look for deals
on used Motorola, Kenwood, etc.

I'm sick of these Frs radios. I want a high power radio that I can take
hiking.
Give me a clue please.
Maybe one that uses repeaters but I am open to anything.
