If the pocket book will allow you - take a look at the Garmin Rhino GPS series. It will pinpoint your buddies location and has a built in radio and you can get a contour map that shows everyones location plus the lay of the land as well as land boundaries.
I have used many different syles and brands of 2 way radio's. They are basically line of sight and unless you really spend some money you are lucky to get one mile range where there is understanable communication.
I live with a radio at work - FM frequency and they are not too much better for distance but you get much better clarity. We have to use FM at work because we are around so much iron/steel/electrical and normal AM radios are nothing but snap and crackle.

Uniden fm band waterproof 1-5 watt.Trucks or boats w/25 watt units.Hand held 1-5 miles depending on mtns.across flats I have made it close to 10.Mine where about 250 pop for small type.Boat type much less $$ and reach much farther 5-10 mile common on flatter area.I have had them consistently out distance the rhino,but do not have gps,so one more piece of gear.
