Should also mention that the repeater function will only work if you know which chanel to use

And there is a repeater close enough.
I have a Garmin Alpha 100 which autopolls other any alpha100 it has been paired with along with the Gps collars. Seems to work OK, we cant talk but I have small UHF radios for that if necessary.

VHF works better than UHF but is still "line of sight" and you really need to be "licenced" to use it but most people never bother and you also need to know which channels to use
