I was wondering that about the Midland handhelds. I didn't see anything on their website about them being repeater capable so it had me wondering. In that case I'll have to nix Midland. I definitely want something that is repeater capable for when and if I ever need it. Thanks for the recommendation! I'm going to check out that channel and do more research now.

My family and I are moving to Gillette, Wyoming on May 22nd. While we will only be living on 20 acres, we will be running it as a homestead type of situation with some livestock, a greenhouse, and some other crops. Anyways, I'd like to run a GMRS setup on the property so that my family can communicate with one another with ease. I've been using GMRS a lot for off-roading in my Jeep and our SxS and I like it quite a bit. My thought is I'd like some nice handhelds for all of us as well as a repeater. The reason for the repeater being that I'd like extended range capability and I'd like to share it with others who might like to use it as well. That being said, I'm a buy once, cry once type of guy. I don't mind spending more money if it's going to get me something higher quality that will last longer. I've been looking at Midland, Rugged Radios, BaoFeng, and others. I'm interested in hearing what you guys would run in my situation and if there are any supporting sponsors of this forum I'd be happy to send my business your way. As far as budget goes, I'm thinking $2000 or less. This is the setup I was looking at: https://www.retevissolutions.com/waterproof-gmrs-radio-solution-bundles I don't know as much about GMRS as I do about guns and Jeeps, but I'm learning! Thank you in advance and God bless!
