You did a great job of answering the question I posed to Eric before

One of the things to consider regarding GMRS repeaters is that the
inexpensive handheld units don't transmit on the 467 MHz repeater
input channels. What units will you be using for transmitting to the

The policy of some repeater coordination councils to insist on a 100-

fairness, they do allow the consideration of terrain/ERP factors at
