From what I could find on the web, this particular equipment transmits in 26/27 Mhz (11 meter band or citizen bank), with a maximum power of 5 watts and in AM mode only.
It is a mobile team of Civil / Citizen Band.
The laptop would become a handheld device.
HF (High Frequencies for its acronym in English) are the frequencies that are between 3 MHz and 30 MHz. VHF (Very High Frequency for its acronym in English) are frequencies that are between 30 and 300 MHz. UHF (Ultra High Frequency). A hug!
It is very relative. I can tell you that you are going to cover 5 to 10 km. But they can be 5, like 5000Km. It depends on many factors such as what antenna you use, how high it is, what power, whether or not there are thunderstorms nearby, if the propagation of the waves is good or not, etc, etc ... It also depends on the frequencies you use . It is very long to explain. In turn, it is quite exciting if it catches your attention. Surely on the internet you will find countless information on the subject and some more specific. I'm glad to help. I send you a hug.
Particularly in a citizen band (as in other bands), you can be speaking with difficulty with a friend who is 15 km from your station and suddenly someone from another country enters and you speak better at 10,000 km than at 15 km.
