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.

A typical VHF station operates at about 100,000 watts and has a coverage radius range of about 60 miles .13 Ağu 2020
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.

They assume a 5 watt handheld, 50 watt mobile, 5/8 wave mobile antenna with 6 dB gain and 5/8 wave, 6dB gain omnidirectional base antenna at 50′. Urban Environment – Around 1/2 – 1 mile from handheld to handheld, up to 2 miles mobile to handheld, and up to 5 miles or more, base to mobile, with base antenna at 50′.

Read moreIs UHF or VHF better for distance?
UHF is the better all around signal and is by far the most popular, so if you are in doubt, choose UHF. UHF signals don’t travel quite as far outdoors as VHF signals, but they do a better job of penetrating wood, steel, and concrete, giving you better range and performance in urban environments and around buildings.
Read moreHow far can UHF transmit?
Since UHF transmission is limited by the visual horizon to 30–40 miles (48–64 km) and usually to shorter distances by local terrain, it allows the same frequency channels to be reused by other users in neighboring geographic areas (frequency reuse).
