Hi everyone,
I am on the security team of a church in Central Arkansas. We have two buildings that are roughly 300 - 400 yards apart (door to door). The distance for transmissions can often be further as a security team member could be transmitting from anywhere in the building.
As a result, we are having alot of difficulty getting our radio signals to get from one building to another with a clear signal. At best, we have a fuzzy signal and there is alot of "please repeat that transmission". I suspect that the problem is not merely distance, but the number of walls that the transmission has to go through, and the amount of electrical interference (our church has a sound booth, video booth, electric guitars, etc.)
Currently we have no base radios. All of our radios are Motorola radios (the portable clip-ons). We are looking at the possibility of purchasing a repeater. But we do not have any experience in buying or evaluating a repeater. Any pointers or suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks!
