Hello, new to van radios never had one before, me and a couple of colleagues decided it would be handy to have them to keep in touch at work. We work on wind farms and as such are sometimes up areas with low reception on mobiles.

Not sure if we should fork out extra for SSB or just use an amplifier?

Not sure if it’s possible but it would be extremely handy if we could cover our sites at the most extreme distance between them is around 50miles but if this is not possible would ideally like to get around 20miles

Any advice would be great

TIA
