Communication Equipment

[Raptor]

So now that I've substantially upped my arsenal and tactical gear, I'm looking at boosting my communication next. Having two parents who both served overseas, I've yet to hear the end of their proverb, "Communication>Firepower."
In a general sense of course.

So, my question to all knowledgeable on communication equipment:
What is the best equipment that you would recommend? I know I've seen people talk about ICOM, and from what I understand, Kiley can program them, So what would be some good options/choices? I plan on spending a good deal on communication, because I believe in its importance. Therefore, on top of a radio, I'm also looking at good headsets. Throat mics, even the dual ear, noise amplifying ones.

So please, fire away with suggestions.

In all seriousness any walmart walkie talkie with over a mile radius in a city will do But if your looking to spend a good deal of money check out radioshack i have seen some sexy radios there.

+1

Also for headsets I would recommend Devgru or Cavalry. They will cost almost as much as a radio but well worth the money in the end.
