What is the maximum rf power output for a gmrs repeater?
The maximum RF (radio frequency) power output for a GMRS (General Mobile Radio Service) repeater is limited to 50 watts. This applies to both the transmitter output power and the effective radiated power (ERP). The FCC regulations for GMRS repeater stations specify that they must not cause harmful interference to other radio services, and the maximum power output is a part of the means to ensure that. It’s important to keep in mind that operating a repeater requires a separate GMRS license and the rules are subject to change and the station must be in compliance with the rules in effect at all times.
