Step 1: Get a programming cable and CHIRP
Step 2: Get a Nagoya NA-24J, 771, ABBREE, or ExtremePower XP-669C. Can't really go wrong with any of those.
Step 3: use the /k/ommunication presets for CHIRP https://pastebin.com/raw/x3Uyzitd
Step 4: Find out your local repeaters, and program those in too. (You can use repeaterbook.com) if you get any of those antennas, you should be able to get up to 60 miles received, transmit though not so much.
Step 5: get your loisence.
