GreggInFL Posted November 1, 2023 Report Share Posted November 1, 2023 Trees are a big issue around here. I use that same repeater but come at it from the east, so there is little development and, being Florida, no mountains – just trees, trees, trees. If you can get past them you're golden. Any height is worth finding. I recently hung a UV-5R (rubber ducky antenna) out the car window from five miles east and was able to hit Orlando 700 while on a slight rise.

WRZC451 Posted November 2, 2023 Report Share Posted November 2, 2023 I always had liked the performance of the GP-9N and for GMRS then the GP-9NC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have had good luck here in Alabama with a Nagoya NA 771 on my BF F8HP. I also took it to Florida with me last week and hit Orlando 700 and also Grand Island 650 from just east of Eustis.
