For example, a 25-watt marine radio will roughly have a maximum range of 60 nautical miles (111 km) between antennas mounted on tall ships, but that same radio will only have a range of 5 nautical miles (9 km) between antennas mounted on small boats at sea level.

For example, a 25-watt marine radio will roughly have a maximum range of 60 nautical miles (111 km) between antennas mounted on tall ships, but that same radio will only have a range of 5 nautical miles (9 km) between antennas mounted on small boats at sea level.
Read moreHow many watts does a ham radio need?
While most popular handheld ham radios use rechargeable batteries and require 5 to 8 watts of power, there are much smaller models requiring only a few milliwatts and much bigger models that need more power – as much as 1500 watts. Power is one of the two major factors that determine the range of your ham radio.
Read moreWhat is the highest watt for a handheld ham radio?
Anything greater than 4-6 Watts on a handheld is not safe as the antenna is too close to the body and unsafe RF levels will do damage to tissue. If you have ever grabbed an antenna while it is being transmitted on, you’ll know why they don’t make 50 Watt handhelds.
Read moreHow is VHF range calculated?
To calculate VHF range, you may want to use this formula: VHF Range = 1.33 × (√H-aircraft + √H-gs) . Where: VHF Range in nautical miles, H-aircraft is the altitude of the aircraft in feet and H-gs is the height of the ground station antenna in feet.
Read moreIs 25 watts enough for ham radio?
Bottom line is that unless you’re in a place where the remote receivers are 25 miles apart, a 25 watt radio would probably do the job , so 50 watts is not going to be a handicap. The 100 watters could make a difference on simplex, but only in the fringe areas and then under specific circumstances.
