well,
the Ramsey's usually Give out good range, but they are Kits.
I use a C Crane on 99.9 that goes about 1,000 feet max, but that's total range including the very static filled parts.
My other C Crane on 95.7 is lucky to get half that much.
The C Crane is only $80, Stereo, and not a kit. It can be modified to output more power than when you first get it. (a simple adjustment of a variable capacitor.)
But as I have seen from personal experience the power of a C Crane can vary greatly from one to the other.
