So that is where I would start. (<a href="http://csi-radios.com/demo-product-two-1.aspx">http://csi-radios.com/demo-product-two-1.aspx</a>) The Tytera MD-380 comes in both UHF and VHF. You will need to determine what repeaters are available at your home QTH and travel areas.(It is $130 plus shipping) To look at activity, see this site: <a href="http://nw.nedecn.org/MinimalNetwatch">http://nw.nedecn.org/MinimalNetwatch</a> For a look at DMR repeaters in your area, go here: <a href="http://nedecn.org/">http://nedecn.org/</a> To determine how well DMR will work in your location, tune in to the repeater and look at the S-meter or bar graph reading. If you see half scale or more, you will most likely get in. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D">I am 40 miles away from the repeater I am using and can get in. I am going to put up a three element beam pointed at the repeater so I will have a great signal. I am also looking forward to using this for hill tops.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D">That should give you a start.
