Hello all. New to GMRS, but not new to radios/comms. Spent 12 years in USAF as a spook, reverse-engineering communications systems from DC to daylight.
A friend has a 250 acre plot of land that we will be hunting on. Lots of hills and valleys. No cell phone service, so we both opted to go the GMRS route to stay in touch while deer hunting. We both have Baofeng UV-5X3 radios, and are in the process of building a self-contained solar powered repeater that we will be installing in one of our blinds t hat is on a nice high point on the property.
Looking forward to learning how it's done in the GMRS world. This sure seems to be the place for that. Thanks for having me.
