What is the transmit wattage on the GMRS channels. I know 50 is allowed but what do these transmit?

I don't know enough about them but, I found the manual online. Hope you can find your answer there. http://www.buytwowayradios.com/products/resources/Midland/LXT600VP3-Owners-Manual-2.pdf

The manual states that there are two available transmit power levels, but no wattage info is given in the owner's manual.

It doesn't say anywhere on the box, spec sheet or radio. I even checked their website www.midlandusa.com and couldn't find it.

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 believe the gxt895vp4 radios have about 5 watts of power. About a 35 mile range give or take &#6462;depending on your location. Lots of buildings or heavy wooded areas can effect the range capabilitys of the radios but its nothing to worry about.

It all depends on how many watts you are broadcasting. I drive 50 watts with mine with know problem. The basic formula is Power equals Voltage times Current. If you Multiply 12 volts by 12 amps you get 144 watts. But there are things in the radio that consume power besides the final transmitted signal. But as you can see 50 to 100 watts should be within the limits of the power supply. Also when you are just listening, the power consumption is minimal.

Don't know, Ended up programming mine manually. Easy once you figure it out. I have 27 local 2 meter repeaters, 20 70 cm repeaters, 3 wx channels, 14 frs,5 urs channels in mine with plenty of room for more. It is actually easier to program than my Kenwood TR 7950. I'm going to get a couple more and I will program them off my laptop.

I use the sensor simultaneously for both the RMR391PA and the smaller EMR201 units. It sends signals to both very well. I use only channel #1 for both. I do not know about any other units; but there are several channels that can be programed with this unit. There might be several frequencies that it is capable of sending???

Certainly not enough wattage or sufficient range. I got in trouble off the west coast of Florida and this radio was basically useless. The Coast Guard could not hear my transmission well enough to react to my ,Mayday Call. Luckily another member on board had a stronger radio and was able to transmit to the Coast Guard. I would not recommend this radio.

Older first generation Motorola FRS radios were 14 channel or frequencies. New models are GMRS service 22 channel and should still transmit and receive on most of the original 14 channels.

Nominal output power (total) 33 Watt - Response bandwidth 40 - 20000 Hz - Signal-To-Noise ratio 75 dB - Transmission range 30 ft

To add to my previous response to the question from Mr goddard, I would add that I receive all available channels from 3.1 thru 54.6 which covers VHF and UHF. But again, check with the mfr of the item.

Yes. You need either a GMRS license for the 462-467 frequencies, or a Ham (amateur radio) license for any of the other frequencies in the 70cm (420-450 MHz) band.

The manufacturer says 2000 watts which is 500 watts over the allowed 1500 watts allowed in amateur radio. But, it doesn't say for how long a period of time, assuming SSB operation NOT AM which would be continuous. From what I've heard on the air you can 'melt' the inside of the antenna if you push it too much for too long.

Theoretically any FRS (Family Radio Service) or GMRS (General Mobil Radio Service) radio (same radio, just that channels 16-22 are the higher power GMRS) should work with any other regardless of brand. I have used my older Cobras seamlessly with Motorolas being used by others. FYI, technically, you are supposed to get an FCC license if you use the GMRS channels.

I'm running the Pioneer GM-D8604 400watts RMS 1200watts Max Mono Amp-Pioneer GM-D8601 800watts RMS 1600watts Max. Max watts mean nothing, always look at RMS watts. I tested my amps to see what they are really doing in watts. My GM-D8604 is putting out 487watts and my GM-D8601 is doing 860watts... I have no problems with getting hot and I'm running at 2ohms. Yeah they are good amps.

These are different frequency , you'll need tpsm with 315 MHz , I don't think they'll work

You must obtain a license from the FCC to transmit on the GMRS frequencies. Some people operate on these frequencies illegally, but there is a risk being discovered and fined by the FCC. There are users that take it upon themselves to monitor these frequencies and, as part of their hobby, are willing and able to seek out and report abusers. Use of the radio spectrum requires cooperation, courtesy, and compliance with the laws and regulations.

The standard transmit/receive ham frequencies for VHF are 144-148 which is 2 meters and 420-450 which is 70 cm. These units are good for these normal ham ranges, but not for your UHF requirements and not for VHF as low as 118.
