[Repeater range question]

I regularly and easily hit repeaters and 30 miles and 70 while sitting on my couch with most of my handhelds... But, there are other repeaters only about 10 miles away that I can't hit due to the terrain between my house and the repeater..

So like the @BoxCar said.. You might be able to hit it, you might not.   Are you CERTAIN that you have the tones programmed correctly?  I would remove the RX tones to make it easier to troubleshoot.

Thanks for the help! Occasionally....I will get the repeater to beep back at me. How often would it do this if I were say, just a few miles away from it? Would it beep back at me after every transmission if I were talking to someone? I'm sure the codes are programmed correctly. What would removing the Rx tone do for me? Thanks again.

Is that the Anderson 625 repeater?

 

 

 

It is the Pickens, SC repeater.

[Repeater range question]

New GMRS user here. I obtained permission to use a repeater that is around 26 miles from me. MyGMRS says the repeater has a 61.4 mile range. I am on the correct repeater channel and have the single input/output ctcss tone entered correctly. I'm using a KG-935g and a GM-30 radio. I cannot get any response from the repeater and each of the radios is not receiving any transmissions. Is it possible that they are too small to reach the repeater and this is my issue? I also have an MXT500 and MXT275 but they are not currently installed.
