  1. Based on the information on the site with the distance calculator, I am beginning to seriously doubt that I can reach that GMRS repeater up in town due to line of sight constraints. I'd have to have a VERY tall tower. A man's got to respect technology's limitations. I'll do what I can and maybe the winds of favor will blow in my direction. Thank you for your assistance in helping sort this out.
  2. Excellent info, thank you. I am looking to use 75-feet of LMR-400 coax and have my eye on a 6-element Browning BR-6356 450-470Mhz yagi rated at a 10.2 dBd gain. I have serious doubts that 5-watts will make the trip to the repeater 50-ish miles north of us even with a fairly decent antenna. Am I right?
  3. Fantastic information on yagi mounting and switching. Thank you! I am currently awaiting delivery of a KCØSDV dual band collapsible J Pole antenna for omni-directional coverage and I am looking to install a yagi so that I can reach a repeater about 50-ish miles away. Currently 5 watts output but I will probably change that soon. Any recommendations on what antenna I might be looking for? No HOA rules and no zoning so I can do whatever I want or need to do.
