Really, as I regularly get anywhere from 4-15 miles range with my HT around
here on simplex. Even further with the mobile rig on simplex at 40-45 watts, as far as 20-30 miles on average. At home, (better antenna and the height advantage) have gotten even further with 40-50 watts! Must be something wrong with your equipment. Yes. Except that 2 meter and 440 MHz radios, especially small ones, have limited range of only a few miles. They depend on repeaters to relay their messages long distances, and the repeaters run on electric power.

It seemed so incredibly strange: Sarah Brady, of all people, packing heat." - Sarah Brady, explaining how her son avoided the Brady criminal background check by getting her to buy the sniper rifle for him.
