need recommendations for RELIABLE two way radios

[eschafer]

I need a set of radios... my biggest desires are reliability and being able to tune out all beeps, squeaks, birps, clicks and squelches... want just a radio that I can make silent until someone is trying to talk to me..... range of 24 miles is not necessary... price is less important if they are quality radios... Any recommendations would be appreciated.. Thanks...
