Reply to: BaoFengs are fine radios, but they don’t have hundreds of miles of range Posted December 5, 2020

You have to understand when they claim that kind of distance that’s because certain repeaters have that kind of distance and if the repeater is connected via All-Star Network or echo link we’re talking thousands of miles. But if you want point-to-point long distance communication without the third party in between then you have to go to the HF bands such as 20 m or 15 m 40 etc. I’ve been a ham radio operator since I was 16 years old and I’m 51 now so I’m very versed when it comes to technology more than the most out there do a little bit of research on repeater networks and how it works and repeaters that are also internet linked or linked via other radio’s networks for example the sarnet in Florida which is all linked via microwave to different repeaters so yes a baofang in Miami can talk to Tallahassee
