for built-up areas like your farm UHF works better, ... BF-888s is low power so it might not have a longer range, if not get a high power UHF commercial radio....

for VHF/Dual band get a Diamond RH771 or a similar RadioTone (used both and im happy with it) buy it a legit seller kay daghan kaayo fake ana run.. (naa ra sa AlphaSource)... barato raman ni sila.. i would suggest stay away from cignus antenna... not that its bad... its just the quality is questionable... i have 2 of them... RH771 ug Stubby
UV85+ with Cignus RH771 antenna
