WOUXUN KG Q10H (unlocked) vs KG Q10G

[WSFU381]

Has anyone done an output power test on an unlocked KG Q10H that will do GMRS?  I'm curious to know if the power level of an unlocked Q10H is significantly lower than the Q10G.  It would be nice to have the Q10H, but not at a significant power loss for GMRS.  The Yaesu HT's with the MARS mod take a significant hit, so I'm wondering if unlocking the KG's will do the same.  

Also, are the H and G actually different radios or is it just a matter of selecting a MODE to accommodate the H or G?  Thanks

Here were my results 

KG-Q10H

2m - 4.5 watts

1.25m - 2.9 watts

70cm -  6.5 watts

6m - 1.1 watts

GMRS - 5.5 watts

MURS - 4.6 watts

 

also, while similar they are not the same. The Q10H doesn’t do CB.

I will have to find the other thread where I posted the output power levels on all band with my unlocked Q10H. From what I remember, they are similar to what @WRUU653 posted.

That would be greatly appreciated.  And thanks for the response.

WRUU653.  Thanks so much for posting those results.  You made my day.  BTW, I lived on the Central Coast for 33 years... Atascadero.  Moved to ID 3 yrs ago.

It looks like the KG Q10H is the one I'm going to buy.  At 5.5 watts for GMRS, that's the way to go.

The difference between 4 watts and 5.5 watts is only discernible on a watt meter. It’ll make no difference to range. Just make sure you get the features that you want.

I found the thread where I posted my power output results with the Q10H. It is in this thread. about the 935G https://forums.mygmrs.com/topic/9435-kg-935h-power-results/#comment-98687 

 

I tested mine on high power and not ultra high. I always forget that the Q10H has the ultra high setting.

2m - 4.43 watts

1.25m - 2 watts

70cm -  5.9 watts

6m - 1.5 watts

GMRS - 3.5 watts

MURS - 1.5 watts

I have never used or tested the ultra high setting on my radio.

As Steve mentioned, 1-1.5 watts is not going to make a difference.

Thanks guys.  I just placed the order for the H  along with the programing cable.
