The best way to increase your radio's range-two way radio with repeaters

When you use walkie-talkies, you will find no matter whether FRS two-way radios or GMRS radios, even the high-power two-way radios, the range will be affected by high buildings or hills, trees or mountains, etc.

Lots of customers feedbacked they want the walkie-talkies that can reach 30 miles 50 miles or even 100 miles. When we replied to them all the two-way radios couldn't reach that range, so we suggested they build the repeater.

So what is a Radio Repeater? How do repeaters work?

Radio repeaters will receive a radio signal, and then retransmit the signal to others at the same time. So usually we call this a repeater.

For handheld two-way radios and mobile radios, we know the transmit frequency and receive frequency are the same. These two-way radios receive or transmit, they can not receive and retransmit, so usually we call this in simplex mode.

When equipment transmits frequency and receive frequency are different, it receives a radio signal on one frequency and, at the same time retransmits it on another frequency, usually we call it a repeater.

hen you build a repeater, you need to connect the antenna with the repeater, and then build the antenna to a higher place. 
Usually the higher you install the antenna, the better coverage your repeater will reach.

So you will find some farmers build their repeater antenna on a building roof or at the top of the hill.

Then you may fix your repeater to the place you want.

You will know the information about your repeater. Like Transmit frequency, and receive frequency, the CTCSS/DCS codes.

If your repeater is the DMR and Analog mode Repeater. Some will include the color color, time slot, etc.

Usually, the repeaters are all customized.  When you find a seller to customize the repeater, you may tell them the Tx frequency and Rx frequency of the repeater.

When you receive your repeater, you will connect your walkie-talkies to the repeater.

How do the handheld or mobile walkie-talkies work with repeaters?

You know the repeater transmit frequency and Receive frequency, and know the CTCSS/DCS code PL-Tones.

So you only need to set up your handheld radios or mobile radios. If your radios' cannot be programmed by its keypad. (some walkie talkies do not have keypad)
You may download the software, and then set a channel as a repeater channel. 
Then set the  Rx receive frequency same as the repeater's transmit frequency.
Set the TX receive frequency the same as the repeater's receive frequency.

For example, you customized a repeater with the following information:
Repeater:
Transmit: 467.6250mhz
Receive: 462.6250mhz
CTCSS/DCS CODE: 67

Handheld or Mobile radios should be set as the following:

Choose a channel as a repeater channel( for example set channel 24)
Handheld Radios and mobile radios set channel 24

Transmit: 462.6250mhz
Receive: 467.6250mhz
CTCSS/DCS CODE: 67
