My son is looking for GMRS repeater station equipment. We are working on an Eagle Scout project for my son. We wanted to get as close to the 50 watt max as we could. We are looking for a repeater or two units that can work as a repeater, cable, an antenna, a duplexer. Basically, everything to setup a repeater. We might be in need of technical advice. I am helping him find the gear but he will be the one doing the project. After all, he is the one working on his Eagle Scout.
We will be attempting to set this up at a Boy Scout camp in Missouri. This is a very large and popular Scout Camp with over 10,000 campers and staff members each summer. The camp has very limited cell phone coverage. Currently only one carrier works there and it is far from good. The camp has a very extensive repeater system on licensed VHF channels that are only for staff use. We hope to use the antenna towers already at the camp.
Our intent is to use the GMRS system for scout leaders to communicate during camp but it would be open for public use. The scout reservation is used for six separate 10 days sessions. The camp is also used for various events throughout the year. It is over 4000 acres with three separate camps each holding 10+ campgrounds. So, there might be 50-70 different Troops during each session.
Thanks for taking the time to read this. You can send me a PM we will look forward to hearing from you. We are in Kansas City if anyone locally is reading this.
