[Ocala National Forest..]

  about 66 miles of nothing but trees.

[Ocala National Forest..]

  yes.  i am a two hour drive from Gianesville and can talk on it every time i try.  Rodman dam is an hour north of my location, so give a try.                                                                  using a kg1000g+ and a midland  MXTA26- 6db antenna

[Ocala National Forest..]

  I live on the south end of the Ocala national forest.  Try Orlando 462.700 Repeater or Gainesville  462.550 Repeater.   they come in clear here.

[voltage for kg 1000g+]

   My jeeps alternator is charging at 14.7 volts. will this hurt my kg1000g+ with this voltage it puts out more watts.

[Wouxun KG 1000G Modulation problem]

  I had same problem. the side tone on the radio is set to dtmf.  try turning it off.  and ring time is set to 3s try turning this off also.

 just google vhf propagation map and you should see it.

[Skip On GMRS]

 I have noticed on the vhf propagation map when it is red in my area. I get better coverage on gmrs.

[Unlisted Central Florida repeater]

 Lakeland 675  467.67500  might be what you want.  I live in Umatilla and when weather is right I can receive and talk clearly.  I am about 80 miles from lakeland.

[question about repeaters]

mygmrs dot com sends weekly repeater updates. Lists all the repeaters per state and details on them. The distances are given, most aren't more than 10 miles.

10 miles.  the people I talked with said the repeater towers in Perry and Tampa are both around 400 feet high.  Lot of money for a 10 mile reach.

[question about repeaters]

  I was also able to hit the Tampa tower also early in the week.  But now I can not reach any repeater over 15 miles.

[question about repeaters]

 yes I was able to confirm the repeater,  it is listed on this site.  the person I talked to owned the repeater and was very nice and said feel free to use his repeater anytime.  

[question about repeaters]

I have heard of skip in cb radios did not know about gmrs.

[question about repeaters]

 I am new to radio and I did not think it was possible either that is what I am asking. But I can not understand why two different people would that I connected to these repeaters when I did not.    both repeaters have same frequency and codes and both on  towers that county use for their radios.

[question about repeaters]

hello i am new to any type radio just retired and needed a hobby. I got a midland mxt400 and a 6 db antenna for a base station.  confused on range to open repeater.  I got permission to use a repeater about 15 miles away but can open a repeater 100 miles to my south and one 168 miles to my north.  I live in central florida.  Wanting to know if this is normal.
