I have the repeater installed, and the radios using the repeaters but my issue is performance. Being that the repeater is a 10 watt unit and my hand held radios are 2 watts, I would expect at least 3+ miles of distance, but I am only getting about 1 mile.
Any ideas what this issue may be? The antenna is mounted at 10' but it is on top of a plateau about 150' above the heavily wooded valley.

Is the repeater not configured correctly?
Suggestions appreciated
