I'm new in the radio and have vhf,uhf,CB,HF.....
I found out UHF is better than vhf if there is a lot of blockage like heavy foliar.I had try Motorola XTR446 and the furthest distance I can get the signal is only 500m.I'm looking a unit not over $200 and is water proof.I found this STANDARS HORIZON HANDHELD HX-270S VHF RADIO and
Standard Horizon HX850s Handheld VHF w/GPS - HX850S - BoatersWorld.com but they r not UHF.Is there any other handheld better than this.At least I can get the signal for at least 1 mile in deep forest.Thanks.
