What’s a couple good gmrs base stations and a antenna to match it to get started that’s Budget friendly.
There’s a few things to consider. What is the intended use? Local neighborhood or distance? Are you going to be using repeaters? The antenna is a variable depending on where you’re mounting it.
I use a Midland MXT275 with a homebrew ground plane antenna in the attic. It has 15watts and it reaches all of the neighborhood , about 25 sq miles, and a local repeater.
It’s priced fairly low. More power, more dollars. Antenna position is your most important issue. I have mine in the attic due to lightning.
Of course you’ll need a power supply or battery system to run it too.
Come back with a little more info.
