Someone else pointed out a simplex repeater. Just plug into a handheld placed on a hill or high building. It is a bit annoying to hear it repeat everytime, but for this type of emergency it could work. I have used them and its pretty effective. ----- Original Message ----- From: "John" <johnk.mch...@att.net> To: Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com Cc: repeat...@yahoogroups.com Sent: Friday, February 12, 2010 12:31:45 PM GMT -05:00 US/Canada Eastern Subject: [Repeater-Builder] FRS/GMRS repeater urgently needed for Haiti
Please disregard my call for help. As several of you pointed out the FRS/GMRS handhelds are simplex so a repeater is of no use. Thanks to those that responded John, K4AG
