npub12dmzkuskzrl2802d3t90wx2nnvezev278l2q6ypszt536vs7t2kqkcr7ef (npub12dm…r7ef) okay, complex question....
Handheld VHF/UHF radios get you 1-2 miles.
CB radio gets you up to 20-30 miles maybe.
HF radio can go hundreds or thousands of miles in good conditions, with a good setup.
BUT...
You need the knowledge, skill, and hardware before a disaster. For CB you will need hardware and practice. For HF you will need a lot of knowledge, hardware and practice.
I recommend you get a cheap handheld and work on your amateur radio license.
Baofeng UV5R is the cheapest opt.
