I doubt that a few db will make or break your ability to use the radio. 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? Wow! That'd be a fun little project! I'm not very talented in the DIY department, but it doesn't stop a guy from tryin'. I'll have to re-scout the area. Most of this is old-growth forest, so solar might be very limited. - WB |
