Take a look at MURS (Multi-Use Radio Service)-capable radios. 5W and
they operate on 5 channels just north of 2m - somewhere in the 152MHz

2 watts, but who's counting?

Well, I'll be damned. It is 2W. Probably confused it with... Well,
something else, anyway. Not GMRS or FRS, that's for sure. I know that
the MURS regs have been revised a couple of times, so maybe it was an
old number that I was quoting. In any event, not what I thought it was.

I'll be sure to crank down the Tx power next time I'm on MURS with the HT
