As a new GMRS Radio user who spent a lot of time troubleshooting why my GMRS radios weren't getting hardly any range, and I wish I had known these tips and tricks as a beginning user.

In this video, I'll go over four basic tips on how to make sure you are getting more range out of your GMRS radios, including choosing the right antennas for your handhelds and base stations (high gain vs. low gain), positioning of your antenna, utilizing repeaters, and more.

00:00 - Introduction
00:23 - Choosing the Right Antenna for your Handhelds
01:29 - Choosing the Right Antenna for your Base Station
03:18 - More Height = More Range
05:33 - Use GMRS Repeaters to Maximize Range
06:15 - Audio-Relay Mode can Help you Test Range

Below are the radios and radio accessories shown in this video. If you're looking to purchase some GMRS radio equipment, consider going through the affiliate links below - it would really support my channel.
