The is no single answer to your question, Tom. As with any analog repeater, your ability to get into the D=Star repeater is going to depend on your antenna, how high it is, and how much power you're running. It's certainly possible to hit a repeater from the distances you're talking about, but having an antenna high enough will certainly make it easier.
If you can hear the repeater well with your beam, there's a good chance you'll be able to get into it. 73, Scott, N9AA --- In dstar_digital@yahoogroups.com, "billyjack2682006" <billyjack2682...@...> wrote: > > Hi this is N9HSM Tom, I am learning alot from this group.
