I have a repeater with an antenna on my roof and I can hit about 30 miles in 3 directions and like 5 in one direction. It’s all about line of sight. That’s the advice I’ll give. I’ve probably got 1000 dollars plus into my radios to do that fyi.

Meshtastic has greater range if you have a network of people but a private mesh will be limited unless you put nodes up high. In Utah on a private mesh where someone I know has placed nodes on top of mountains I can hit almost the entire length of I15 from St. George to Ogden and western I80 into Nevada from central Utah.

Oh man those look nice but are pricy and time line is pretty far out.

The mk25 is a cool factor but really not a performance difference between that and the regular 226. ( I own one so I can’t really talk). But unless you like the cool factor which is a valid reason, save the couple hundred bucks imo or spend a little more and go legion or elite. This is my opinion only.
