![]() "Mike" nospam @ aol.com wrote in message ... Since all transceivers of this type are limited by the FCC in regards to how much power they can output(and most of them develop the max power allowed at about 1.5w nominal) and since all of them come with essentially identical omnidirectional antennas, I can pretty much assume they will all have very similar ranges, since obviously the transmitter is going to be the limiting factor seeing as how the other end is putting out roughly 7db more power. There are various ways of measuring the output power of an AM transmitter. One manufacturer's 1-watt transmitter may be much the same as another manufacturer's 4-watt transmitter. There are other important issues, such as the type and quality of the modulation and the audio processing. The devil is in the details. Actually, the quality of the receiver is (in general) more important than transmit power. In my experience, both Vertex and Icom are good brand names for that type of equipment. Vaughn |
