I've used the bf-888 in simplex, never through a repeater. My experience has been nothing but positive. Signal carries well and very clear on both tx and Rx. For 17 bucks on amazon, you can't go wrong. Easy to program with the baofeng software. I have mine programmed with 1-8 as FRS, 9-16 as gmrs. I have 7 ccr's. Various models. When my riding friends and I head out on snowmobiles, there may be as many as 12 of us. Keeping track of everyone is like herding cats. Everyone takes a radio and because the blister packs are so prevelent, that's the freq's we use. Vhf would be better for the terrane we are in but I can't convince the guys that spent several hundred bucks on garmin rino's. It makes no sense to me that garmin didn't do murs instead of FRS/gmrs. BTW, the ccr's are better performers than the rino's. The rino's mostly sound like crap. Sorry about the long rambling post....
