Which repeaters are you able to hit? With HT, I can reach The Colony, Stark Hall (Denton), Little Elm, and that's about it. I'm limited by HOA with an indoors antenna so will be testing an N9TAX slim jim dual band rollup. Have tried mobile antenna on pizza pan and no joy. Curious to see what others in the area are hitting and with what kind of equipment? Thanks

What radio(s)?
Which bands?
What you can and can't work depends on your location, the repeater locations and terrain in between. Other peoples experince will vary.
Slim-jims and j-poles are not very good. Using a better antenna might help ulness there are terrain issues.

Are there better indoor options that you would recommend? I've tried the Hustler MX-270 on a pizza pan - no joy. Wondering what others are using on their HTs or 50W mobile-base units indoors.
