  • I went hiking to the beautiful Providence Canyon in Georgia and wanted to test the Surecom SW-112 simplex repeater (you can watch my video about the repeater) on this type of environment.
    I use my hiking handheld the Baofeng UV9G with the Nagoya 771G antenna, and the Tidradio TD-H8 handheld connected to the repeater. As you will see it worked very good. I was surprised because the line of sight is very bad because of the elevation drop and the big stone walls. I set it up in my truck connected to the mobile antenna Midland MXTA26.
    A very good set up when you are out with a group, your family, or just by yourself to improve the range of your radios or to test equipment.

    I am very impressed with the range considering the altitude and rock wall drops. I didn't think you would have any signal ...but, it was really strong. Great job and thanks for the new videos you have been busy!😮 I have driven through that area many times and I have been meaning to check out Providence Canyon.

      @mitchh6702 Yes Mitch, I was impressed also. Not a single blind spot and good comms. The park is really nice, give it a try. But save some energy for the walk up to get out at the end! 🤣
      Thank you for watching 👍🏻

    Thanks for the great videos on the Surcom SW-112, I have the BTECH GMRS 50V2 I use as a base unit with the adapter that would work great with that simplex repeater.

      @antoarre It is just a cheap Ozark Trail from Walmart. But it's very comfortable and it's been with me 3 years now. Thanks for watching! 👍🏻
