Several members of our group are happy with Uniden 2
watt UHF handhelds - not cheap, but can be bought as a pair with
headsets which you might find useful. See
http://www.uniden.com.au/AUSTRALIA/p_uh064sx2_index.asp
Claimed range 10km line of sight, but not in hilly or very thickly
vegetated country. We use them most when doing 500 metre Atlas
Surveys, and always maintain contact. They can also be used in a
convoy, provided the vehicles are not too far apart.
The NiMH battery pack can be replaced by 4 AAA alkalines when you run
out of power.
