Thanks for your help wrodina!

Thanks everyone for the ideas! I am friendly with the repeater operators but moving it or modifying any of their equipment probably isn't an option. I am not the only user. Keep the ideas coming...so far it sounds like I am going to have to install another repeater.

I love my Baofeng F8HPs! https://baofengtech.com/bf-f8hp

Hi all! My first blog post! My family has a ranch where we utilize a GMRS repeater that was installed by a local amateur radio group. We have a side of the ranch that has some deep canyons. We loose our ability to reach the repeater with handhelds in the canyons. Is there a way/equipment that can be used to increase the repeaters coverage? I realize we could install another repeater but then we have to "monitor" two channels. Our radios can do that with Dual Watch but it would be nice to just have one channel for our ranch communications. I was told maybe a Distributed antenna system system may work. Any/all ideas would be appreciated. I am happy to explain any further details. Thank you!
