Maker's claims vs FCC filing

Maker says

"5W full-duplex GMRS repeater" source

FCC filing shows

5.0 W rated conducted, 462.55–462.725 MHz grant

Our read

Consistent. Repeaters may run up to 50 W output under 95.1767(a)(1), so 5 W is a low-power repeater. Coverage depends mostly on antenna height.
