-As mentioned in the [[#part1 |first part]], repeaters are used to extend the range of companions. With radios, the range roughly depends on three factors: 
-  * The antenna characteristics of **both** radios, their heights above the ground, and the line of sight between them. 
-  * The transmitting power of **both** radios. 
-  * The frequency used. 
- 
-Let's highlight here that it doesn't make sense to talk about the range of //one// radio.  With my radio, For example, I might be able to reach Bob at a maximum distance of 1 km, while reaching Alice 2 km away.  That's because Alice might have a better antenna or be higher up than Bob.
