That handheld will product 2 watts, maybe 5 watts if you get an expensive one and don't care about battery life. The range is maybe a mile or two, it's line of sight essentially. With a nice shortwave or HF transceiver you can get a couple thousand watts going and talk all around the world, depending on conditions.

im pretty sure they want a handheld so they can use it at lafayette park....
If that's the case, a GMRS would work fine. The article doesn't mention DC at all though.
