Why do you say this radio is 5 watts when the manufactures spec says 4 watts?

Actual output varies by frequency and antenna. Test measurements show anywhere from a true 2+ to a high 3 watts on these radios. Far more important to range than watts is antenna quality and transmit/receive position on the terrain. Example": twice the transmit watts will only give you a small percentage increase in range, not twice the range by far. There is much more top it than power alone.

Mine is putting out 4 watts on VHF and 5 watts on UHF. In reality no one will be able to tell the difference between 4 watts and 5 watts

Factory specification is 4 watts rated for FCC submission . However due to Chinese design these radios are coming out of the factory producing 5 watts using standard test procedure of swr1:1 into a 50 ohm dummy load and measured with a bird watt meter. for more info and guidance there is a yahoo group specifically for this handheld and its users which has excellent resources explanations and mods people have made

When did I say anything about 5 watts???? I never stated anything about the specs, I just said it worked well within the railroad yard. In fact I believe I noted I had not tried it at range.

This is a very nice amp, but I don't think it is 4,000 watts. It is very hard to determine without proper equipment. But it is a worthwhile amp for the price.

I'm a little confused. The description up top says 40 watt but as you scroll down the page it says 25 w. On top of that, everyone has given different answers to this question.

It is excluding the Sub. I think the Sub is 200W, separately. And its each channel having that 120 W or whatever, not something like 24W * 5 = 120.

I don't know wattage however; this radio's existing speakers may not work for the beach if you're looking for boom box quality sound. You're better off with a separate pair of speakers.

Everyone says its about the speaker but this is only partially true. The radio only outputs 7watts on the audio output. Weather you use a 7watt rated speaker or a 15watt rated speaker, you are still only pushing 7watts of audio through that speaker and a bigger speaker won't necessarily make it any louder.

The manual states that there are two available transmit power levels, but no wattage info is given in the owner's manual.

No this one is selectable to 1.5 or 5 watts. The BF-F8HP is the one that is 8 watts.

Checked the Owner's Manual which lists the output as 20W + 20W, or 20 watts per channel. Very low distortion permits this compact unit to produce very high quality sound. I have it connected to AudioEngine bookshelf speakers and a subwoofer. I am VERY PLEASED with this product.

The typical stock car radio should not exceed the wattage that could be powered by this PC-6. They usually range between 10 to 15 RMS, which is the watts per channel rating. Again a standard car radio is powering about 4 speakers. So if it is a rated radio of 15 RMS, it is only 60 watts total (15 x 4). This power supply is capable of powering most things under 75 watts. There are two factors you will need to know---the total RMS of your radio and the amps of your radio. If the amps are under 6 and the watts are under 75, this Schumacher unit should power it.

It shows: 2 Preset Radio Station - 300 Watts L/R Channel (4ohm) 50W for Center, Surround L and Surround R (4 Ohm) in Amazon description section...

Hello, it is 720 watts (6amp). I do not use it a lot, but everytime I needed it performed greatly. Cheers!

Seller would answer if he/she knew, but the manufacturer will not specify. My testing showed sporadic out put between 4 and 6 watts. I'd put it at 5 watts output. Good Luck.

An 11 meter plug in is usually included that you have to open the radio and install, the seller may or may not do it for you with a tune. 11 meter is limited to 4 watts max any more then that puts you under the wrath of the FCC.
