Most likely a stupid question but hey I am just a machinist in trade.
I have a radio in truck that in testing with a sure com puts out at high power setting 10 watts. it is rated 50 watts. when I hook this same radio to base antenna sure com reads 17 watts. what say you.
any input would be appreciated, i love learning new things. Radio is not my end game but a tool and would love to learn how to use it best.
fyi same radio, very similar input power supply, same frequency (gmrs).
