My only response on this topic since Kevin doesn't allow rules discussions.
GMRS is allowed up to 50 watts TPO unless you are operating a small base station, then the 15 watt rule comes into play. A small base station operates at 5ppm minimum frequency tolerance and a standard base station or repeater must maintain minimum of 2.5ppm. A small base station also has height restrictions. Also, 50 watts TPO is allowed for mobiles and frequency tolerance is 5ppm or less. If you are within the line A or line C paramaters, certain frequencies are dis-allowed, power is not the issue. Gain antennas are also allowed and there are no restriction on that. Bob, GMRS WPVV845, Amateur KG4WAD, LMRS WPXC892 --- In [EMAIL PROTECTED], Paul M Schmitter <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Ooops.
