-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.  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.  If one person improves their antenna, height, or line of sight, it helps everyone communicating with them.
-That's not so with power.  If Bob increases his power, everyone will hear him better, but that won't help him hear anyone else better.  It's as if two people on opposite sides of a football field tried to talk to each other: one with a megaphone, and one without.
-As a rule of thumb, everyone should use roughly the same power, and try to have the best antenna, line of sight, and height as possible.

   * Install a repeater like the //SenseCAP Solar Node P1-Pro// from [[https://www.seeedstudio.com/SenseCAP-Solar-Node-P1-Pro-for-Meshtastic-LoRa-p-6412.html|Seeed Studio]] or [[https://ca.robotshop.com/products/sensecap-solar-node-p1-pro-for-meshtastic-w-gps-battery |RobotShop]]
   * Use an antenna like:
