[Inexpensive Repeater setup]

Maybe is time for me to get my HamRadio certification....?

Something else you might consider is asking why there are no repeaters in your area? It’s quite possible that there are not enough, or even any, GMRS users other than yourself. So, I would suggest that unless you have your own needs for a repeater you might want to reconsider your project. On the other hand, if you do have a need, and then would also welcome other local users, should there be any, then that well seem to be a reasonable validation of the plan.

 You have a very valid point, most likely the area is very mehh, The old repeaters on this are are down as their licenses are expired. I guess this days is all about cellphones..

This reminds me the good old days of the cb radio era, rough but functional. Experimenting with everything

two CDM750, a 29 dollar programming cable, a 10 dollar repeater link cable, a used UHF duplexer, a few feet of RG213 cable, two 10 feet metal pipe sections, and a Laird FG4500 UHF unity antenna atop those 20 feet.

 

That will give you one of the best FM GMRS repeater options, for a fairly modest price tag.

EDIT: Forgot the 20 Amp 12VDC power supply.

Hello to all, my first post here. I have noticed that in the Brevard area there isn't any repeaters. So I been thinking if some of the seasoned members can recommend a inexpensive repeater setup.
