I have the 1 watt version that tested good to 2000' line of sight. All 4 wattages (0.5, 1, 2 & 3) all claim 1000 meters?????

The distance has many variables. 2.4ghz or what other frequency will have a factor on the distance. But the distance they quote is a best case scenario. But I cannot see a .5 watt going 1000 meters. That is unheard of. In my expierance with wireless cameras the higher the wattage the longer the distance. But not sure what you are asking. If you are asking why they all say 1000 meters at different wattages and the same 2.4ghz. Must be a mistake. It does not work like that.

I have tested both 1 watt and own the 3 watt both worked perfect never had a problem with anything . 2000' would be close to what I have pushed mine as well . No problems

If you have a Ham license, you know they are line of sight. Mine will easily go 100 miles if I'm hitting someone or a repeater on a mountain top.They are 5 watts and they behave like any other 5 watt radio. I have a 50 watt transmitter I can hook it up to in the car.They are great radios.

I was going to say it seemed like 100 watts rms was the stated max for wattage--and durned if I wasn't right....Just know its just a numbers game with higher #'s being more impressive. I look at the sensitivty rating of the speaker 1st especially for car systems--they seem to play even more 'bigger is better games' than the home system players. Anyway, it's all in your ears when it comes down to it...that and budget restraints.

I dont know why in the box you had this issue. But the 1000watt overheats and is not more powerful that the 800watt. I have both and they feel almost the same. The resistance that the currant makes because the cable is not anybigger than the 800 it makes the cables over heat and melt. The cable is the same size on both so it doesnt mater how much more power ether have it comes down to what the cables can transmit and also without overheat factor..... The company has a good return policy.... Get a newone.

Take their specifications with a grain of salt, their wattage ratings are completely off, who is to say they aren't fudging the numbers elsewhere?

Yes, I am currently using a 100ft of it with a full-size loop on 75 meters (240ft length) and 1500 watts SSB. If you keep the SWR below 3:1 there should be no problems. If using a mode with continuous carrier it should probably be de-rated to 1000 watts for reliability.W3SYH, Nuclear Physicist

I have the 1 watt and have tested it to 2000' clear line of sight, only lost video when transmitter was driven around a bend. The only test I made thru walls was 30' and it transmitted thru aluminum garage door with no problem. Note that the video transmission mode does introduce slight video degradation with some flickering.

Mine puts out 4 watts on high, 1 on low in the 2m band. I get 3w high .5 low at 70cm.

1 square meter of panel doesn't collect anywhere near 1300 watts. More like 200.

I looked on the bottom and it said 1000 watts. . . hope this helps you decide..

I wouldnt trust either. Compared to my niterider bike lights that are rated at 750 and 350, my 350 is brighter than the "1000"

Chris - sorry so long for reply, either would do, as this unit only uses like 5.4 amps I think.... I'm actually getting a 1000 watter for next time. Hope this helps friend.

According to the manufacturer, you should multiple the total watts by 1.5 in order to determine the output needed. If you purchase the 3000 watt version, you should be fine.

There is no specification label on the unit to confirm it this way but the "user manual" - it's very thin on information - says this one is 1000 watts. That's the best I can say on that.

I just installed on of these, because the way it was written implied 2.1A each. It is *NOT* I checked both outlets and the first was pulling around 900mA, the second around 1,100mA. So that rating is for both outlets combined. Exact same model number.

Theres actually no rule of thumb for radios. Line of sight with a good antenna a 500mW radio like this one will get quite far, specially if you're high up compared to the ground and outside the city. You'll get 36 miles that way. In the forest, no line of sight, near city, you'd be lucky get even get a mile... but if you have a very good radio you wouldn't get much more! Doubling the power output will give you 1.6x theoretical range (not 2x!) and not even that in reality if its not line of sight. That means if you get 1 mile with 1 watt you certainly never get 2 miles on 2 watts. For short range tho, its a good/cheap radio for sure. More expensive radios wont get you a lot further without having proper antennas and placement.
