  1. I am trying to test in real life scenario, not in a perfect test bench. These radios are advertised as 50 watts, then they should give out 50 watts, or very close to it.
  2. They asked me to test using a dummy load. I ordered one, when it arrived I connected to the meter and radio. 1:1 SWR, still around 35-37 watts when using high power on GMRS 16-22. Using a Surecom SWR/Power meter. I believe I have a defective radio. I purchased this one because of the advertised 50 watts compared to Midland and BTECH radios. Not happy so far.
  3. The low watt setting is ok now, the probelm is the high setting still, just approx 35 watts at 1:7 SWR.
  4. Thanks OffRoaderX. I did send a ticket to BuyTwoWayRadios, waiting on their response.
  5. I was so excited to try my new KG1000 from Wouxon. I installed it on my vehicle and tried to test my output power. I connected straight to the battery and on channels 16-22 I can only output 35 watts or so. SWR on the antenna is 1.7, on channel GMRS 1, SWR is 1:1 and it only outputs 3.5 watts. Setting for both power outputs are on high. What am I doing wrong? Do I have a bad radio?
