Question : What is the most affordable two-way radio option that will give me up to a 30 mile range?
I have been giving my supervisors cell phones for work. This is not working and I am looking for a way to keep our office, 3 supervisors and myself connected via 2 way radios (or similar). This would mean buying out of the sprint contract for two phones. I need up to a 30 mile range.

ham radio
Nooo… ham radio is not authorized to conduct business. Each operator requires an individual license, plus amateur radio only allows for personal communications. Not an option.
Same goes for GMRS.
Strictly an issue for the Business communication service.
You need to contact a two way radio company. You will need to operate through a repeater system, as direct communication will not be possible at these distances.
You will need to see if there is a specialized mobile radio system in your area. If so, you can buy access to the system.
Equipment costs are rather high, although many two way radio compaines offer a lease option.
You could pay over $ 500 per unit for access to an 800 Mhz trunked system… plus access costs. Costs for UHF and VHS equipment may run about $ 250 per unit… plus repeater access, if available in your area.
