Hello everyone, I am looking to set up radios to talk to my buddies as we travel off road in the SoCal mountains. We started with the FRS radios but they only seem to travel about 1/4 mile. I stepped up to a Bearcat980 with sideband but the CBs seem to only travel about a mile. I have done a ton of reading online and it is either over my head technical stuff or very simple "how to set your SWR" stuff. I don't even understand how or what the sideband does. Where do I start? I am in the Los Angeles area. Do you know anyone here that sells radios or can help?
