AD is right, it really would.
My issue, I want to be able to hear the repeater from my garage and living room. My house is 14 in adobe block, and in the back yard, on my HT its like talking to someone standing beside me, in the front I get nothing but noise. I dont know why, and I know it shouldnt matter being this close, but reality overwhelms theory in practice.
A wire run from the radio room to the garage would solve that, but its supposed to be wireless radio, not a telephone. And I may have something close creating interference in the front, which the house blocks. Which would tell me its a very weak or off band signal if it doesnt effect reception out back.
