I know that If I want to make our local repeater( the antenna is 12 or 13 miles away) with my handy talkie, the only way is to use the 70cm/2m cross link repeater nearer to my house.
Without that cross link, I couldn't communicate through the repeater from my QTH using a handy talkie. Minor point to be sure, because I am capable of reaching it through other means.
