20 Mile Two Way Radio

I have a company where my workers are spread out through out the city, the Midland two way radios have a range of 26 miles, or so the package says. I would like to know if these would be good for a 20 mile range to contact the workers?

The only way you can get this kind of range in a city is by using a repeater on a hilltop or tall building. The easiest way to do this is to go through a local 2-way radio shop that offers this kind of service. You pay a bit for the access but you don't have to try and license a frequency, install and maintain a facility at a hilltop, pay rent, etc. Another option, if you have company cell phones, is to get what they describe a p2t (push to talk) service on the cell phones. Your employees use the cell phones as walkie-talkies and just push a transmit button. Again you have to pay for this service but you will have to pay in one way or another no matter which way you go.

My first video review about a Motorola 20 mile 2-Way Radio.

I am looking for a two way radio (I would prefer CB) that connects two automotive radios and a base over a range of 13 mile/20 kilometers wich is legal and under 120 bucks.

Using legal CB kit it would be unlikely you could get a reliable 20km range. A third of that would be more realistic for base-mobile communications. The only other option is to use more expensive PMR equipment.

you can pay a repeater owner for a community repeater access.

The local Motorola Two-Way shop can tell you where to find the repeater owners.

If you want to get your ham radio license, contact the ARRL and ask for the local Special Service Clubs in your area. ARRL is the national organization for amateir radio - www.arrl.org
