GMRS Watts v Distance?
Sorry if this isn't the right group to ask this, if not and
someone know of a more appropriate group I'd appreciate a pointer. I currently have GMRS radios that are rated at "16 miles" (yeah, maybe on the salt flats or over water, ok, we all know about that). The are rated at 2W on the GMRS freq's and .5w on FRS. Why are the new "25 mile" units still rated at 2W? What's the difference in the two radios to justify the increased distance claims? Can't be frequency or a change to the privacy codes or they wouldn't work with older radios. Increased sensitivity/filtering? Hype? -- Steve |
