Well I'm not really sure I need the 100 watts, it would be nice but probly overkill. What I'm trying to do is create a repeater on a bussiness band frquency for use around my camp 20-30 watts would probly be enough. I have a 50 foot tower I am going to use, and I need to be able to cover a 15 mile radius. I want to use VHF bussiness band because of the foilage in the area and non-hams would be useing it when they are there hunting or camping and I have 10 handhelds on VHF bussiness band, plus there is no repeaters that I am able to hit from camp. I have AC power available. The repeater will only be on and in use when we at at the camp and thats maybe twice a month on weekends, plus I am limited in funds. Any suggestions??? I was going to use a cross band ( MURS/FRS ) simple repeater, but found out it was illegal ( only if you get caught, LMAO ), I dont want to push my luck - cant afford the fines or the time.
