Your home station (control station) is 5 watts on GMRS. But if you have a base repeater at your home it can be 50. They do that so that you do not tie up a pair to talk to a repeater. In most cases it works very well. If you think about it 5 watt to a repeater will work just fine on an out side omni or a small 460 beam. 73 Russ
