Hi all,
In looking at a couple of different GMRS Radios, one of the main
differences
seems to be the wattage output and hence the claim of distance. For
instance, the Motorola T5950 outputs 1 watt where the Midland G-300
outputs
3 watts. That is definitely a difference in power and I am sure that
makes
a huge difference in battery life.
Here is my question -- on lake surrounded by woods where you do not have
line of sight to another person, how much distance can you really get
between the two units? If 1 watt gives you two miles through that
terrain,
would the three watt give you four miles?
I doubt you would get two miles in broken terrain with units that claima
range of two miles.
