Chances are pushing won't have the coverage you want. I still on a passing
system and we used to have hundreds of transmitters. Now we have maybe 10.

Why don't you get a higher power mobile and file for an itinerant  license?
Digital radios normally have some i/o capability built in as well.

I know they won't be as cheap as the $30  BF junk though. At least some of
that gear isn't FCC certified.

For a guy that likes to roll his own there are a lot of options.
