Newbie here , since this post is a few months old as per the last reply, I want to build my own repeater and need help sourcing out the right equipment. I sent a PM to an active member and I really have no clue on how to start this project. Any pointers on this?

Thank you, gentlemen for the warm welcome to the forum.
What is the coverage area of ERS650NY?
I am in upstate NY, but work in NYC and often enough I like to talk to my brother in the City from up here in the burbs. We are looking at a 40-50 miles distance. If it can be done with a small repeater that can be made from $500 bucks I consider that a win-win situation. Now again I am totally new to this and GMRS was a way for me to get back into 2-way radios as a hobby & to keep in touch with family too. I had an OLD ham license (KB2HCE) that expired, but i am going to re-test and see if I can get my OLD call sign back. I can also use the repeater to talk to my other brother in Wingdale, NY 12594. 15-20 miles north of my house as well. So, again thank you for your help and input into this project.
