HIGH WATT ON RADIOS HAVE A STANDBY TIME OF 24-26 HOURS BUT A TALK TIME OF 45-60 MINTES AVERAGE.WHEN PROGRAMMED ON LOW WATT THE TALK TIME INCREASES UP TO 3 HOURS. TALK TIME MEANS HOW LONG YOU HAVE THE PTT PRESSED AND TALKING. RECEIVE TIME WILL STILL BE UP TO 24 HOURS.
HIGH WATT LOW WATT. 95% OF ALL APPICATIONS WORK FINE ON LOW POWER.LOW POWER IS 4-6 WATTS DEPENDING ON FREQ USED. HIGH WATT IS 6-10 WATT DEPENDING ON FREQ USED. DOUBLE WATTS DOES NOT MEAN DOUBLE DISTANCE SO ALWAYS USE LOW POWER WHEN POSSIBLE FOR LONGER BATTERY LIFE.
