WSFR966

Thanks all for your input, all good things for me to try. Still puzzling because when the hand held can reach the base station clear but the higher power base station can’t reach the handheld it’s confusing.

I did try a ground plane, no change in results, the yagi I thought might be good as a directional type to reach further.

No tone set

Tried 2 different antennas, first with a ano-50g and then a yagi 6 element. Both antennas were good on power and swr. According to scadacore I have good line of sight. Its a suburban area with trees

Hi All - new to GMRS radios and have been struggling with testing range. I have an kg100g+ with an antenna mounted about 25' above the ground. When i test coms with the kg905g at 2miles, the transmission from the handheld to the kg-1000g+ comes in clear. However, the problem is when i transmit from the kg-1000g+ to the handheld it doesnt come thru or all static. I check the sql and its at 2. I tried different antennas, check both power and SWR, everything seems fine. I'm confused because if the handheld can reach the kg-1000g+ how can the kg-1000g+ transmission not reach the handheld? please help.
