Even if i'm only covering 1 to 2 miles, (1.7 miles is the farthest i could test and that was hiking up a mountain to reach home antenna in the valley) I think the features of a better controller will benefit me.

Then I figured a cheap controller or no controller would save a little money, BUT i find value in having a full featured controller because i want to play with and learn the system. Another question is should i get the longer sized one like 8 or 9 inches long, or go for the really small one (easier to put in a box later) since i'm not looking for the best performance for this build. has anyone tuned it to ch 5 (in the middle) and then had the ability to change to a different channel without losing any performance? there is some room but i'm not sure how much.

i'm wondering about making a commitment to a channel. So that leads me to the ~$100 small duplexers. I mean, if i make something super high end and expensive, i wont want to move it, and i'll keep it at home and maybe extend the range by a mile or less (lots of hills around me, and my antenna is down in the valley) i think if i knew i had a great location or home for the system, such as a hill top or tower, i would def put more into tweaking it and squeezing out the best performance. I found a nice one one ebay for a fair price but the more i think about it, the more i think i want to focus more on portability and not on super high performance. while i'm debating over that, (price vs features) i'm looking at getting the order in soon for a duplexer. Okay, cables and other misc parts still on their way, getting ready to make the inner connectors but still need to decide on a controller. the 880 is hard to find details on, but i'll keep looking! but i'm not sure i need all that power, so i hope there is a lower 10 watt option for normal use. plus, its a bit higher powered, not that i need that high of power anytime soon.ДЄny experience connecting the 880's or 840s to a controller? I'm leaning more towards the 880s, for a few $ more, the version 2 gives me 40 watts. The 880 has a digital volume control and more features, so i think it would last longer, and i'd get more life out of it. I was looking to stay away from the 805 and 840 because the volume and ch knobs wear out, and become noisy.

Or maybe an older TK-805D because i found detailed plans on how to build the interface cable here: I could also go with TK-840 - because i can also get a good deal on a pair of those. Kenwood TK-880-1 ver2 40 watt (or Kenwood TK-840-1 25watt) - both inside the GMRS band. wondering if the front RJ-11 would allow a custom cable? I'm going to most likely order a NHRC-3.1 controller so I'll have to make a custom cable anyway. (see link below) I can't seem to find anything on interfacing those. On some other models like TK-805D, there is a way to open it up and solder some connections for the rx tx, ptt, tone, gnd, etc. I'm about to pull the trigger on a pair or 880s and just wanted to do a bit more research before i do. I'm looking to integrate a Kenwood TK-880-1 ver2 with a repeater controller.
