I'd pass on anything manufactured in the last 20years or so and pick an older model to use off ebay. It'll be like holding a metal brick in your hand, but you'll have an antenna that will be in the 3-4 foot length (much better for getting out). All of these are AM and you be able to pick one up for under $30.

There were only 2 am/ssb walkie-talkies (that I know of) marketed in the US: The Cherokee, with a tiny rubber duck antenna and it's various clones under different names, and going back to around 1970, Midland's 3 channel am/ssb walkie-talkie.

Almost all walkie-talkies have a jack for an external microphone, speaker, and antenna.
