Thanks. I listened in on the local club's net last night and was able to hear it on my HT with a two foot whip. I tried checking in and they could hear something on the repeater, but too static-y. They kept telling me to crank up the power, but I already had it at max, but that's just 5W. So I'm sure a 50W unit would solve that problem. I told one of the club guys via a text that that was me trying to check in. Still pretty impressed that at 16 miles over lots of hills I can get a response from their repeater with my little HT.
