I've used the cheap baofeng for years and get great distance out of them for a handheld and you can punch in all your own frequencies so just google the RR frequencies the ministry has specified and program them into your radio. I don't necessarily call all the time but definitely listen and will call where there are signs saying "must call" or if the road is really busy.
