Hi all, I'm wondering if someone can explain how this can happen with my current setup. It doesn't make sense that the base station can hear me but I can't hear the base station with the same equipment and power on a hill.
Base Station has a Browning BR-180 Dual Band Antenna 20ft High using LMR400 to a TYT TH-9800.
My Truck has the same Antenna and radio TYT-TH9800.
Both transmitting at High 50w Power on GMRS.
Base can hear me loud and clear but base comes in choppy or not at all once I'm over 5 miles out.
I thought if one can receive clear, then the other should too at the same distance, especially base which has the higher antenna.
Whats even more off is that base can hear me loud and clear just from a baofeng handheld at 8w power too so base can receive really good.
