Hello to all here.

Looking for information and equipment experiences.

Desire set up a base station here at home, and pack radio (something more than 5 watts) for use while traveling.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Dutch,

Welcome!  I’m from Butte, so nearer to you than most on the list. 
 

I bought a couple Radioddity DB20G mobile radios. They’re probably about 17 watts and type certified for GMRS, plus they are affordable at less than $100 each. Also they’re very small. They’d make great pack radios. They’re not fancy, but they seem to work just fine. 

I have a coupon for $15 off if you or anyone else wants it.  I get something for sharing it also. Hopefully it’s not expired.
I should probably say affiliate link below but Randy does it much better:

Thank you.

Is there a repeater between you and I ?

I am south of Ennis.

No, not for GMRS. There are 70 cm and 2 m repeaters but not GMRS.
