Ya it dips back down to 130/150 feet.

Anyway you can send me a link to them sites?

Hi everyone. I’m pretty sure I’m answering my own question but just looking for confirmation. My base is 130 feet above sea level. I’m trying to reach the other side of my town and the elevation between me and what I’m trying to reach is 380 feet than it dips back down. Would my antenna need to be 250 feet in the air to do what I want to do?

ok,cool. thanks!

I do have a UHF for my truck and no I have nothing for my home. so I should mess around with an antenna before anything else? only issue with an outdoor antenna is I live in a condo... would an attic antenna be worth it?

Hi everyone, before I go on I have spend hours on this forums and a few others trying to answer my questions. But I'm try to figure out how to get the most out of my handheld radios. I live in southern NH and from what I can gather a repeater doesn't exist around me. I bought external antennas from powerwerx and I can get about a mile out of them. Im looking to get 5 miles if I can get more than that's great! I have been looking at the midland mxt400 and setting it up in my truck as a repeater. is this a possible route for me or am I missing something? I don't have the programming cable for these radios yet. looking to get some feed back before I start ordering things. thanks for your time!!! rich lyons wrbu240
