I am a Ham (AA5MP) and want to get my grandkids involved in radio. He is 9 and lives 5.2 miles away in Austin. I was hoping GMRS could be a fun way to start. I bought two Btech 5 watt units. I was hoping we could reach a repeater? I did not want to get two high watt base stations if he has no interest so it is sort of a chicken and egg.
Any thoughts? I am not optimistic without the repeater it will work
There are a few nearby and I have asked for permission
If you can suggest other options ( do a I need 2 15 watt units with antenna outside his bedroom window?) thanks
