Increased sensitivity/filtering? Hype?

Hype and poor/deceptive advertising. Probably the advertising dept. is clueless
as to actual specs.

2W on a unity gain antenna should have a maximum range of 1.4km (or 0.878 miles)
given the standard receive sensitivity of 0.2u.

GMRS is CB, and therefore, your better group by topic would have been
"rec.rado.cb." However, I agree with other responses that you would probably
get a better quality response here.


Thanks again to you all (with one notable exception ;-) ).
You've confirmed what I suspected all along but didn't
have/know the technical details enough to debunk the claims.
