Fraser Is Repeater channel?

If you look at the the "On the Road" tab on top of the forum page you'll find a UHF repeaters section. From that, it looks like channels 3 & 6 have repeaters on Fraser Is. Good luck with the GME, I have one and it's great!

Ch 6 its the fire repeater so limited use by others is required.

I have never been able to hit those repeaters.

On the western side you'll hit the ch8 hervey bay repeater and ch6 Maryborough repeater, on the Southern end you'll get the ch2 Gunalda repeater, and on the south eastern beach you'll get the ch5 (emergency only) from the sun. coast somewhere.

besides, once you get of the beach the scrub becomes fairly dense, i doubt that a repeater would be a great deal of use. On the beach you should be able to reach 20+ kms if you and your party have decent units and aerials.

1 - 2 km if the handheld is inside the vehicle, that's about the best we get from our Uniden hand-held. Up to around 3 km line of sight if you are standing outside the vehicle.

Handy to have one when walking away from a vehicle based UHF set skunk.

And more than ample for car to 4WD comms when we are travelling lock, stock and 2 arguing kids (Army postings, gotta love 'em).

Thanks everyone for your feedback, apart from those of us travelling in convey & using the uhf to chat, we'll be using our eyes to spot those that arrived early to set up instead of relying on the radio. Never mind. Thanks again everyone!
