WSER584

ok, thanks. My main goal is to stay in touch after a hurricane in Florida with family. I can only get about 2 miles handheld to handheld, but family is about 6-8 miles away. Probably won't work unless i spend a lot. oh well.

If i do a small repeater 10w and an antenna on my roof any idea of how much better that just a handheld? Don't forget i can go in any direction from the house then not just handheld to handheld.
