GMRS Mobile 50 watt Question (Purchasing)


Recommended Posts

As previously mentioned antenna height and line of site is everything.  Extra wattage is nice, but from my experience just does not make a big difference.  I can hit a repeater at 50 miles with only 5 watts, however this would NOT be possible if the repeater was not the height it is.  Also if your using RG8, the losses at gmrs freq are not trivial.  best of luck, all info is good info...   regards
