Hi all, need some clarification for base power requirements. Guy in a Facebook group thought I could only run my BTech 50X1 at 15 watts for base. I did a google search and found this citing at Cornell Law.
(a) 462/467 MHz main channels. The limits in this paragraph apply to stations transmitting on any of the 462 MHz main channels or any of the 467 MHz main channels. Each GMRS transmitter type must be capable of operating within the allowable power range. GMRS licensees are responsible for ensuring that their GMRS stations operate in compliance with these limits.
(1) The transmitter output power of mobile, repeater and base stations must not exceed 50 Watts.
(2) The transmitter output power of fixed stations must not exceed 15 Watts.
I guess the question goes to what's the difference between a "base station" and a "fixed station(s)"? Anyone got the goods on this? Thx
