  1. A 10-watt device can operate between 10 to 15, while a 5-watt device typically runs from 5 to 10.
  2. The ISS orbits about 250 miles above Earth, which is why a 5-watt radio can be used. Without a repeater, a 5-watt signal typically reaches a distance of only 5 miles (Source: I tested).
  3. There is no way that an 8-watt radio can reach 100 miles!
  4. If you are looking to learn how to set up the radio, the manual is the best resource. As @WSDM599 mentioned, if you want to learn about different types of radios, Amazon offers several books on Baofeng and other radios.
  5. It seems I didn't have the correct power supplies. Thank you for your response.
  6. I am really confused about the power supplies used by Icom.
  7. Do you like the Anytone AT-D168UV handheld transceiver? it works great.
  8. (e.g., Baofeng) on baofeng I go to 10-11 for r dcs or r ctcss
  9. Does anyone have an icom-7300 for Ham?
  10. What's your favorite radio? Mine is a UV-5R and 5RH for HAM, and for GMRS, it is an APX 8000 and GM5RH.
  11. I have tested the Watts L2 M5 H10, and this radio is FCC part 95 certified. It works great with a GMRS antenna. I will give it a rating of 10 out of 10.
  12. You can use either a MacBook or a Linux operating system.
  13. try chirp. chirpmyradio.com

  15. I have one that works great for me.
  16. The good old Baofeng is here introduce you to the GM5RH. https://www.amazon.com/BAOFENG-Handheld-GM-5RH-Emergency-Frequency/dp/B0CP3PH6V6
  17. My profile is also at 0%, so I don't think it matters. ["Unless you are truly proud of your call sign."]
