The new BridgeCom Systems BCR-220 Repeater went in recently and seems to have great range. One report said as much as 70 miles from the repeater site.
Don said, "Yeah, we have a great location. Our repeaters are on top of a 500-foot hill, with the antennas on 120-foot tower. We share a location with some city-owned equipment, which have diesel backup generators, and we get power from those generators if the mains go down. It is a pretty sweet setup."
