And let's get rid of the ERP limits on GMRS. I'm struggling now with building the best station that I can under the current restrictions. As the rules are now, I have to have two base radios and two base antennas to build a high performance GMRS station that allows me to operate on all frequencies. I need one radio, 1-10 watts with a unity gain antenna and feedline cut to a length to ensure proper attenuation to maintain legal ERP for channels 1-14. I need another radio, 45w, with a high performance antenna to get the best performance on channels 15-22. By getting rid of the ERP limits, I could run one radio, 5-45w, and one gain antenna for everything. Edit my former opinion above to say, I'm still very new to this whole GMRS thing and I can see now that the frequencies for channels 8-14 are so close to the repeater inputs that higher radiated power would likely cause trouble for repeaters. Let's just eliminate those pesky channels completely.
