<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I am wondering what I need to setup a cheap and
simple digapeater. I live out in the middle of nowhere (Babb) Montana. As
I drive into town to get groceries (180 mi round trip) I will hear an APRs
packet about 3 or 4 times in the trip and that is it. The whole area is
covered by wide-area repeaters so I don't think it will be hard to get
permission to put one up. The cost and lack of knowledge is the problem. I
think one in the are would be helpful because Glacier National Park is next door
and the lack of cell phone coverage. Eventually I want to put up a weather
station locally but I think this area needs a digapeater first.

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Note: I forgot to mention but if you had a APRs
base station you can reach the diameters in Canada but not with a mobile or a
portable. </FONT></DIV>

helpful.</FONT> </DIV>
