If the valley is very deep, I doubt that 50' in elevation will help much either, especially if you are trying to communicate 'over the hill'. These are line-of-sight radios. Another thought if you are into 'build it yourself'. There are eight GMRS frequency pairs reserved for repeater use. Cobble together a low-cost, solar powered GMRS repeater. Is there someplace you could install it on the peak of a nearby hill? |
