Hello all, New to GMRS. I decided to go this route because i believe its the best option for my needs. I work approx. 12 linear miles away from home and my wife works from home.
I would like some recs on what equipment is best for my scenario: I would like to communicate with her in case of emergencies with a min of 15-20 mile range. I live in the San Fernando Valley (CA) and currently can see a few repeaters I may be able to access.
Options I can entertain: (1) 2 handheld units that can easily be utilized by my wife. (2) 1 handheld unit and 1 mobile unit I would install in my car. (3) 1 handheld unit for her and 1 handheld / mobile combo for me.
If possible i would prefer Option (3) because I would use the mobile while driving then switch to a handheld when I arrive to my destination and need to bring the handheld along.
Please let me know if you need any additional info to assist in recs.
Thanks!
