Thanks for the info! I tried a Cobra 25 in the car but it does not like the car. During TX is sounds like RF is on the audio, I geuss it needs to be grounded better, I can put it in the house and everythings fine. Been there done that I aint going to mess with it, got a 30 year old 23 channel GE...
55% for me, if those friges on the porch quit running my % will go up!

I spent many years on the same quest and after trying many bands including HF went with a GMRS repeater and it is good for 20 miles. The repeater only does 20 watts and the mobiles 25 to 40 watts. The repeaters antenna is 50 feet high and the mobiles just have 1/4 waves (6 inches). It's not 50...
