Another feature

Your radio most likely has a feature called 'reverse'. Not deep in a menu, because it is something you may use when talking with a friend on the repeater. It allows you to easily switch from listening on the repeater output to listening to your friend on his output to the repeater. If you can hear him on 'reverse' then you can talk to him on simplex. On your next transmission you would say, "I can hear you on 'reverse' let switch to simplex 'xxx.xxx'. Keeps from tying up the repeater when talking to your friend a mile or so apart.

Easily 10 miles, but someone from the area could give you a better number.
