    repeater on 1 watt with just the magmount here in the shack inside the house. Now, I have to use the 5-7 watt setting, but still get in OK. You might say that the loss of 60 feet of height made a difference!!

    73...glad to help...that's the spirit of Ham Radio!!

    I imagine the power amp helps compensate for the mag-mount antenna. If you AB>had a directional antenna, do you think you could get away without the power AB>amp?

    I'm sure I could...but I don't do good on roofs or towers. That...and the lightning potential...keeps me from having outside antennas. But, the only time
    I get on the air is nights, weekends, and during severe weather.

    73,
