which do handheld radios act better on area larg citys? cb, hf, 27 mhz ,4 watt , or cb, 440 mhz, uhf 5 watt?
check to see if your city has either a GMRS or FRS repeater – if so, get the same kind of handheld
otherwise, without a ham license, no handheld (handie talkie – HT) will work very well in a large city
