Extend Your Range With Repeaters
Repeaters act as a combination of a radio receiver and radio transmitter. They receive a signal and transmit it so that two-way radios can cover longer distances and navigate obstructions. This makes repeaters the middle man and why they're so important in improving radio range.
The higher you mount the antenna, the better coverage you can get. Thus, repeaters are typically installed high up on a building or hill in a centrally located area. The better the spot of repeater installation, the better the radio range.
A repeater won't just push radio range further, but it'll also improve the clarity of two-way radio transmission.
