Before you do anything make sure you have a good antenna setup for your base and mobile. Coax, connectors, and a good antenna will do wonders. But it all boils down to whether the conditions are good or bad. Like JJD said, you want more power, add a small amp behind the radio and boost the power that way. Leave the radios stock.
