We are in need of communications between our hunting cabin (0ff Grid) and our hunting grounds. They are 2-10 miles away from each other with a significant hill between them and lots of other hills in the area. This is a very heavily forested area far from civilization.
I want to put a repeater at the top of our hill, which is part of our property.
I'm considering the following equipment for the repeater site: (2) 25 Watt UHF radios Celwave 633-6A Duplexer Comet CA-712EFC Antenna Renogy 50 Watts 12 Volts Monocrystalline Solar Panel PowerStar 12V 35AH U1 Deep Cycle AGM Solar Battery Genasun GV-5-Pb-12V, 5A MPPT solar controller with LVD 1/2" Heliax Hardline Cable
What I'm not sure about is the need of a repeater controller.They seem to offer lots of bells and whistles, but do I need one with modern radios?
