Guest Steven Posted March 2, 2022 Report Share Posted March 2, 2022 Dear friends new to GMRS, I live in Castle. It seems the Springs is the closet repeater is that true? Second, If Colorado Springs is the closet repeater to Castle Rock can a 50 watt radio reach the repeater? Thank you for helping me Steven Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoxCar Posted March 2, 2022 Report Share Posted March 2, 2022 It depends. The repeater antenna is probably on a high site so it covers the largest area. Your antenna must be in a spot where it would be in line-of-sight of the repeater antenna and not blocked by large buildings or trees. If the terrain between the repeater and Castle Rock is blocked by hills, mountains or whatever a 1000W radio probably wouldn't get through.
