Sometimes even my D700A with external gain antenna won't reach a gateway. I have stood in my front yard with my TH-D7, looking directly at the mountain where the repeater is located, and been unable to connect without moving around to different locations. Give it a try, but you may be disappointed. The problem in your particular place might be that the mountain top digipeater is hearing so many systems from so many places that yours just isn't making it through. Especially if it can see other mountain top digipeaters. That said I would think Greg would be far better off if he could put mag mount antenna on the top of the train. chuckle Tony That might be the case, but we are in a pretty remote area. There is no question though, that a power increase takes care of the problem. My experience with the D7 includes a lot of travel in the west (Arizona, Utah, Nevada) The ability to connect with a digipeater was few and far between with the D7. Going to the D700 makes all the difference. Dick |
