I recently purchased a GM-15 Pro as my first GMRS radio. I've read that it doesn't actually transmit at the full 5W that it's rated for. My questions are:
1) If this is indeed true, is there a way to edit/modify the radio to transmit at a full 5w?
2) Are there any handhelds on the market that are "best in class"? There are seemingly a lot of conflicting opinions on what radios are better than others. Is there a groupthink consensus on what's better/best?
I do a lot of hiking in remote places and also have a few friends within a 5mi range that I'd like be able to reliably communicate with.

Is 50 watts a waste?
