On 10/05/03 08:24 am AC/DCdude17 put fingers to keyboard and launched
the following message into cyberspace:

I got a 22 channel walkie talkie thingie from Wal-Mart, which you
guys refer to as GMRS/FRS hybrid radio.

The manual says 0.5 or 2W(selectable) from GMRS/FRS shared channel 1 to
7, 0.5W on 8-14 as a FRS radio and 15-22 GMRS only selectable between 0.5
and 2W.

The package reads "2watt up to 5 miles"

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?

Silly rabbit, FRS is for kids!
