If you click the maps tab at the top of the page, then type in the town and state in the search bar at the bottom left, it will populate repeaters in that town. Quote

Spend the time and money on getting the best coax and antenna you can up as high as possible. I use a comet712efc, lmr400 and a 20w radio It does 200miles reliably. My whole base station set up retail is less than $400. However many people swear you need to spend $450 on a 50w base station radio alone. so type of radio should be driven by your budget, desired quality, and desired features. But all remains the same for the antenna and coax buy the best you can and get it up as high as possible. Quote
BoxCar Posted April 29 Report Posted April 29 With line-of-sight radios (UHF and VHF frequencies), added power means you have better reception in the area covered rather than greater distance. The distance (farz) depends on how high the antenna is above the surrounding ground. An antenna 6 feet above ground level (AGL) can reach a repeater many miles away if the repeater is on ground higher than you. That' why so many repeaters are located on high hills, buildings, and mountains. Height more than power equals distance. WRXB215 1 Quote
