Just buy a good radio.  For the price of the amp you could have gotten a good mobile radio.  

I get that... I am looking at the Wouxun KG-1000G Plus. Seems to be getting good reviews on it. I'm just trying to use what I got for the time being. It's just that I am having trouble hitting the repeaters in my area.

I bought the BTECH AMP-U25D hoping to see some improvements with my radio transmission. it claimed that it will boost my wattages unto 30watts. My setup consist of a UV5R, Midland MXTA-12 Base, Midland MXTA26 antenna and the Amp. Am I on the right track with this equipment? what would you all recommend for a mobile setup/handheld user.   Thanks in advance.
