How far will a 15w FM transmitter broadcast?
50 to 200 feet
How far will a 50 watt FM transmitter reach?
If 50 Watt ERP is used, it’s very likely that 20 miles of range will be achieved. This is because 50 Watt ERP is ample power to propagate a strong signal 20 miles. If 1 Million Watts of power is used, it is very likely that signal will only propagate just over 20 miles.
How far will 25 watts transmit?
For example, a 25-watt marine radio will roughly have a maximum range of 60 nautical miles (111 km) between antennas mounted on tall ships, but that same radio will only have a range of 5 nautical miles (9 km) between antennas mounted on small boats at sea level.
How far can a 2 watt radio transmit?
So, a 2-watt walkie-talkie might broadcast within a range of 1.5 miles; 3 watts = 2 miles; 4 watts = 2.5 miles; 5 watts = 3 miles; and so on. Actual distances may vary widely based on weather, UHF vs. VHF, etc. But these are good, general rules of thumb to go by when shopping for a new radio system.
How far can a 5 watt radio transmit?
12 miles
How far can you talk on GMRS?
Typically though, most GMRS radios use between 1 and 5 watts of power. Their range is a bit better than FRS radios, with typical hand-held devices being somewhere in the 1-2 mile window. Some mobile units with higher antennas can have a range up to 5 miles.
Is GMRS license enforced?
Starting in 2017, the FCC separated FRS and GMRS. They now allow a maximum of 2 watts on FRS radios, 5 watts on handheld GMRS radios, and 50 watts on non-handheld GMRS radios. They claim that the FCC licensing requirement on GMRS will now be enforced.

Can FRS radios talk to GMRS?
FRS channels 1 through 7 overlap with GMRS and can be used to communicate with GMRS radios. If you need to talk only to other FRS radios, use channels 8 through 14 to avoid possible interference with low band GMRS users.
Is GMRS the same as ham?
Communication. A major difference between the ham and GMRS is that GMRS is suitable for short distances only, whereas amateur radio can be used for long distances. Ham radio is used with a lot of repeaters that allow a higher power signal to be sent over such a long distance.
How much does a GMRS license cost?
Up to now the application fee for a GMRS license was $70. With this Report and Order, the new GMRS license fee will be only $35, which is $15 less than the proposed fee and half the cost of the fees previously charged by the FCC. The license is still valid for 10 years and covers an entire family.
