    Good news all your help is appreciated. We are using the radios without a repeater an getting good range, perfect for our area ...the rated 8dbd ground plane antenna is 4 feet up on the crest of the roof of a single story...reaching about 8 miles out. I tried sr628 with the aggregandizer style configuration through the back of the radio using db9 cables and it works up until side a/b requires input then about half range...maybe if the antenna was higher could get a good signal in a 600 +- split frequency at longer range but i dont see why i wouldnt go simplex in this instance. I havent tried any other repeater.

    If you haven't heard of it id say check out the aggragandizer By kd0tls . Looks like a higher quality controller is necessary ...but these radios do alot i can attest..when i get the chance i will certainly raise up an antenna high as the law allows and connect a repeater!!

    Without** not with a repeater**

    Hi everyone...apologies for the delay. After all this time ID like to report with results. The sr 628 distorts the signal drastically and the distance decreases dramatically while in use. It works great but needs high output maybe a preamp but for now, the th9000 is bare and were getting good range with a repeater. The setup is a simple sinc labs gmrs antenna on the crest of the roof about 4 feet above it wired straight through a 4ft netting pole..its pretty much tree level And were getting just about the coverage we need its great . The vehicle Is sporting an old bus antenna its great. U guys helped alot for the record thank you

    when i get results ill post back.

    Ok which obviously is not allowed...

    BTW thank you guys for taking your time to provide input..! Some People who it's taken years to learn all this knowledge would not be very inclined to discuss such details..of course we all know that "radio people" are indeed polite and considerate...at least that is my experiences...so I'd like to express my gratuity to yous guys.. Spd641 I actuality was hoping someone would have had experiences with setup of this system with these radios... I read there was a port to the rear of the housing of the tyt radio for a terminal that could easily be installed, but is not inside it....I guess I'll have to discover how on my own and report those facts here...the programming aspect can be tedious routing pl ctcss etc..if I could only get these issues resolved then the fun begins and we'll be enjoying the fruits of our Labour! I was curious to know if any of you knew of scrambler function and if it's a viable option using gmrs?

    Spd641 thank you for the kind words..
  9. WHITETIGER
    okey dokey ill keep those good facts in mind...i will come back with setup results...

    well good point im starting to believe it may work...i ran the pole up 20 foot to the peak of the roof and then mounted the antenna.... i have a 40 foot tall tree i am debating on mounting this jpole to which hopefully works well...i have painted it white because of the ho association issue but will furthur camo it by adding light sky blue if it goes up in the tree...i am really hoping it works. the install is in a suburban area of florida with subdivisions stores and homes and condos..we have plenty of old oak trees and pine trees as well as numerous other gargantuan trees...i ran it from the peak with a simplex repeater and literally got a half a mile radius...ridiculous i know but it was basically all i could do to test it out..also had someone else keying me up to test...also tested with handhelds same issue even with using the mobile to relay so the antenna is the final hurdle before i give up on the gmrs and sell it all!

    I have used the simplex surecomm it is loud and clear! And very very easy to operate..

    Also , how do I notify the faa without making them panic? Is there a specific phone number for towers? I wouldn't want any medical of sheriff helicopter or any aircraft for that matter to collide with my tower....
  13. WHITETIGER
    Ok I wouldn't mind if anyone else wanted to chime in..thinking of going with surecomm , hoping antenna height will give radios good distance... Would you elaborate antenna height makes a difference? Even if it's a 10-20 foot distance? Could I possibly defeat heavy interference and increase the tx rx distance ? Again thanks a lot!!
  14. WHITETIGER
    Ok,wqrh471, thank you for your help.. have you had any experience with a surecomm controller what would be your thoughts on that configuration? Will that provide realtime transmission ?
