[New to GMRS. Setting Up a UHF Repeater]

Thanks all. Was looking for an easy way out. Don't really want to get up on a ladder

[New to GMRS. Setting Up a UHF Repeater]

I would tune the radios down to 20 or 25 watts...they will last longer. It's a short run on coax so rg8x or some 213 will be fine with n connectors. I use dcp, vice ctcss. Try and go up as high as you can. Height will be ur friend. Lastly, make sure you have a good power supply to run the mobiles on. This k about a battery back up for when u have power failure. What type of antenna? I use a jpole, it works great.

Thank you! Couldn't a duplexer fed grounded UHF NMO mobile antenna suffice at bare minimum? 

[New to GMRS. Setting Up a UHF Repeater]

Hi All - I am fairly new to GMRS. I've worked in a shop and have done minor tuning, programming, installs and surface mount repairs on portables and mobiles over the years. I have limited experience with repeaters. I am attempting to setup a home repeater in Dutchess County, New York.

 

Equipment I have:

2 CDM1250 UHF Radios (40 Tx Watts / 25 Rx)

1 Dual power supply

1 ID O Matic 4 IV controller

1 Duplexer (properly tuned to Hi and Lo)

 

Can somebody make recommendations on the remaining equipment? (10 foot coax run....type of cable...N connectors.....antenna). I can not get onto the roof, so I will be running a pole/pvc out of the highest window of the house....extending it to roof level. 

 

Thank you for your help!
