This eveing, Michael, G1XCC brought a Motorola DMR repeater to demonstrate.
 Set up in literally five minutes, connected to a wifi router and a 4G mobile phone the repeater logged on to the network over the internet and instantly we had world wide coverage from a hand held radio!

 
Not at all bad from a UHF hand held – listening to a USA station talking to an Italian! 

The preffered antenna for site is a unity gain as the repeaters are internet linked and auto roam to the strongest signal, so it’s better to use low gain aerial with a good low take off angle.
  
Thank you, for the demonstration, Michael.
