Yeah. That’s what my cousin says. Take the general as well and then you don’t have to bump it up later if you pass to begin with. He’s on Chicago, so I guess he has similar conditions- except for the urban sprawl. I don’t see him all that often, though.
The club here is pretty active and very helpful. They’re why I’m doing GMRS now. We have a quick net every Sunday evening. They’ve helped me program the radios I have now. They have a GMRS repeater and I can hit it from just over 20 miles away. (I have a 50 watt radio in my truck and the antenna on the roof is almost like a dish. I get excellent range, so now I want to go for 100’s or maybe 1,000’s instead of 10’s of miles… 🤣😂).
