Hello everyone,
1st time poster here.
I have some Midland LXT630VP3's that my family uses around the farm. (Many something for my kids to use to call for help if needed, or for us to call them in).
I would love to extend the range by adding a repeater. Can this be done with these radios? I can't seem to find a solid answer.
I know ham and other things are a better option for longer range on farm terrain, but not sure my 5yo is ready to study for the Amateur test yet....
So yea, can these radios be used with a repeater?
Is it possible to set a radio to TX & Rx on the same channel?
I would prefer to build a repeater from a radio or something (good project with the boys) vs buying one.
I dont know a lot about radios, but can handle electronics (programing background and my 8yo has built several cool robots)
Thanks in advance!
