I got a copy of FCC certification sumbission for this radio and it reads:


478mW FRS
831mW GMRS


How did the 831mW on certification submission turn into 2,000mW on
manual and package?


The manufacturer might be using the old audio-amplifier trick of
listing the total power consumed by the radio (output +
losses/overhead) on the packaging, maybe? If they didn't say "2,000
mW RF power out" then they might not be actually lying... just coming
to within a split red fiber-optic of doing so.
