You can go to the FCC site and pull Part 95 like I just did and read it for yourself.
I'm running 50w from my Micor rptr. xmtr. with 1.5db loss from a MOt. 1504 duplexer into 50' of 1/2' LDF4-50 heliax to a DB410 9.2db gain omni antenna. This all calculates out to approx. slightly more than 250W ERP. This machine has been in service for at least 25 years on 462/467. 675 in the Atlanta Ga. area N3DAB/WPRX486 GMRS/WPJL709 LM --- In Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com, Vincent Caruso <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > I didn't think so... > > Johnny wrote: > > It hasn't changed.
