The FCC allows repeaters to be used with GMRS radios. A GMRS repeater can dramatically increase the coverage area. There may be GMRS repeaters available in the Portland area and others may be turned on buy NET teams during deployments. If anyone is interested in the topic, a good resource is [https://www.mygmrs.com/ myGMRS].  Both the BTech and Wouxun GMRS radios mentioned above can be used with repeaters that support support GMRS channels 15 through 22.  To access one of these repeaters using a BTech or Wouxun add 8 to the channel number.  In some cases you may also have to program a "tone".
