Have to ask "why" 5 watts not enough, then you have the VHF to play with
04 ST 3lt auto, not enough Mods to keep me happy, but getting there
Are you talking about a handheld or a in car unit? The in car ones should already be 5w. What is the model number?
If the handheld you have is 1/2 watt then, in a practical sense, the answer is no.
The equipment to do it would cost waaay more than buying a new radio on fleabay.
If you buy or mod an existing transmitter then that is illegal even if you use it at 5 watts anyway so you may as well buy an "illegal" set in the first place.
Aaaannd... remember RF is log not linear IE double the power doesn't give you double the distance.

Dolphins are so smart that within a few weeks of captivity, they can train people to stand on the very edge of the pool and throw them fish.

If i was trying to get my post count up I would of done it about 30seconds after I signed up.
What would be the point of spamming this? I was a radio tech in a past life, if he posts up what sort of radio he has I might be able to help him...isn't that what we are here for?
Cool...another post to my count...
Was just asking as "THIS" did not making sense 2 the Quote you quoted in your post..... he has posted what radio he has its a GME TX3400
And no we are not here 2 help each other, just here to dribble sh!t and get our post counts up, just ask clunk and TD
Congrats on your extra post count

Did you see the time stamps on the post between me and him? He posted while I was typing up my response, 120 seconds.
Bit touchy aren't we? Do you think I'm after your manuals? They are all over the net...If I needed them, which I don't.
