you could try GMRS over FRS which ends up having more range and only costs $35 for a 10 year license (no test / certification needed). I was recently trying both types of handheld walkie talkies and the FRS range was almost 1/5th the range that GMRS was able to do
alas, his friends are a couple hundred miles away so GMRS won't cut it. The GMRS-enabled radios are much, much better though
