i done some period of research and found the highest wattage is 7w, icv82/icu82 of icom.inc. 7w is about an effective range of 56km in optimal condition, 4.5km in congested areas.
I do not know if you are talking about Amateur Radio service, or FRS/GMRS.. What I DO know, is a 7 watt walkie-talkie type radio has a rather short battery life.!!!!

I am not a ham but trying to understand them and eventually get a license. What bands would a 144-430 MHz radio operate on?
This would be a dual band transceiver. It operates on the 2 meter band and the 70 Centimeter band. The 2 meter and 70 centimeter refers to the wave length.. The 2 meter band covers 144 through 148 Mhz (Megahertz)
The 70 Centimeter Band covers 420 through 450 Mhz.
Megahertz (A new word for Megacycles) is the frequency of operation.
Most transceivers of this type will receive a wider coverage. The frequencies listed above are the transmit frequencies.
Hope this helps :)

I am looking to buy a transceiver and i am trying to decide which one to buy. i am choosing between
Vertex VXA-300 Pilot III Airband Nav/Com Transceiver
http://www.tagpilotsupply.com/index.asp? PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=795
and
Vertex VXA-710 Spirit Nav/Com Transceiver
http://www.tagpilotsupply.com/index.asp? PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=1069.
Both of these have very good battery life but i think the major factor is the navigation display. i am sure the 710 spirit has a very good easy to read screen because of the dot matrix display but i am not sure about the Pilot III
If anyone could help me out as to which one i should choose that would be greatly appreciated.
Great choices, and in my opinion The Vertex radios are the best aviation tranceivers made (just look at the Yaesu legacy). If it is going to be your only on-board navigation source, go with the 710 because it is easier to read in all conditions. However, if you are only using it as a back-up, it isn't really worth he extra $80 for the dot-matrix display. The 710 does also include standard broadcast FM capability, which I like and it is useful for entertainment, news, etc., especially if you don't carry a wireless PDA device and feel the need to know what's going on in the world at any given moment. Coupled with an external antenna it can provide some in-flight entertainment if you can't spring for XM radio. I have the 710 and love it.

I am looking for a store in the central-minnesota area or a website (not ebay or amazon or anything like that) to buy a nice new or used portable ham transceiver (not scanner) to use for $100 or less. And yes, I do know that you need a ham radio license. Thanks!

Good luck and 73 from the fisherman
Current offerings from Cobra and Uniden etc. are far too massive to slip into a pocket nicely. I see lots of UK CB handheld radios that look nice, but I don't have a clue as to wether they would work here on US frequencies. I don't want to wait for overseas shipping or to deal with weak exchange-rates on US dollars. Ideally I would have a VHF marine radio adjusted, but is this possible? VHF technically goes down to 30mhz I think which isn't far from our 25-29mhz range, but do these transmit SSB or AM signals? Maybe I just need a handheld ham radio, but would that be out of my price range? ($200)
There's a CB AM/FM/SSB handheld that goes by various names : Titan roadpro 454, eagle spitfire, dragon ss-201 , INTEK SS-201 Dragon AH-100, Albrecht AE201. Tweaking a marine radio is not a practical possibility.
