Question: I’m looking for a longer distance radio to clear reliable connection from 7 miles away. Can you recommend anything?
Answer: Please understand walkie talkie is short range frequent communication tool, 7 miles is a little longer range.
What’s the communication surrounding? Very little barriers, or not a few barriers?
You can choose a big power radio, together with a repeater to extend the range, this will be the most suitable solution:

Question: Thanks for the info. What’s the range on these radios without the repeater? Do the radios or the repeater need to be programmed to work or are they plug and play out of the box ready to go?

Without repeater, 10w RT29 vary from 2-4km. With repeater, it can increase to around 7-8km. (based on communication surrouding and terrains)
1/ if your communication surrounding is “open“ and few barriers, like farm, or beach, etc.
You can order stock frequency of VHF repeater: VHF-10mHz-Stock: Offset 10mhz, Tx:162.6125mhz and RX:152.6125MHZ.
Then programme RT29 to be REVERSED TX and TX frequency is ok.
2/ if you communication surrounding is has not a few barriers, like many buildings city, etc..
You can order stock frequency of RT97 UHF repeater: UHF-10mhz-Stock: Offset 10mhz, TX: 463.3125mhz and RX: 453.3125MHZ
