Thanks. That's all good info. Another stupid question. Is a repeater used only between two distances to increase the range? Or is it also used to increase the range from the original signal orientation location? Meaning, if I install a repeater at my house on the roof, does it drastically increase the range in general or is it mainly used at a midway point as a jump off location to increase distance. Don't know if that makes sense.

Hey guys, I am thinking about purchasing and installing a GMRS repeater, specifically for my own use in order to reach the rest of my family who live in the San Fernando Valley. I live in Santa Clarita. Has anyone ever purchased their own GMRS repeater and installed at home? If so, any brand names to recommend? How difficult is it? Any advise would be great. Thanks. WRBL848
