This is the problem with clipping posts. Read the original post Situation: An event in a remote area, one hill top is well enough that coverage at around 10 watts VHF for the repeater could cover most of our Aid Stations, 2 with HT's, the other 3 with Portables at 25 watts or so, could get into the repeater!
In the past, we have used crossband UHF in, VHF out, and it worked ok! Except for issues with a couple of HT's not being able to cut the input out during transmit! My goal, is to design a lite weight, low power consumption (i.e. fewest batteries possible, as the hill top is only assessable by hiking or horseback!
